If you have followed the RC hobby for years, the name Vanquish brings back strong memories. The Tamiya 58686-60A VQS Vanquish is a faithful reissue that blends the original character with practical updates. This 1/10 scale buggy is built to appeal to collectors and drivers who want vintage looks with contemporary parts.
The VQS keeps the iconic shape but simplifies prep with a pre-painted, pre-cut polycarbonate body so you spend less time painting and more time on the track. The bathtub chassis stays true to the original layout, offering a sturdy platform for varied terrain.
Beyond nostalgia, the VQS includes functional upgrades that matter on the course. Aluminium front uprights and universal shafts, drawn from later Avante releases, boost strength and refine steering response for better cornering and durability.
Power comes from a 540-size brushed motor, delivering dependable torque for recreational racing. The model uses planetary gear differentials for consistent power distribution to all wheels. Note that an Electronic Speed Control is not supplied, so an ESC must be added to complete the electronics.
The VQS Vanquish makes sense for hobbyists who want a period-correct model with practical modern touches. Its mix of classic design and upgraded hardware suits display builds and club racing alike.
