The Tamiya Astute 2022 brings a refined TD2 chassis to the 1/10 off-road scene, giving builders a solid combination of stability and tunability. This kit is aimed at hobbyists who want an engaging build and predictable on-track behavior.
The TD2 layout inherits lessons from earlier designs while introducing a front inboard suspension that keeps the profile low. The front suspension arms use a 25 degree skid angle to maintain tire contact over ruts and bumps, while CVA oil dampers smooth out suspension action for consistent traction.
The TD2 uses a monocoque frame for torsional strength and pairs a ball differential system similar to the TD4 to optimize driveline efficiency. A transverse-mounted battery at the rear and a midship motor arrangement help centre mass, and a three-gear train transfers power to the drivetrain.
The polycarbonate body is lightweight and durable, and the star dish wheels improve rim stiffness and tyre support. Adjustable high and low wing stays let you tune downforce for different track conditions and cornering styles.
As an assembly kit, the Astute 2022 is rewarding to put together and offers performance that suits newcomers and experienced racers alike. The chassis layout makes setup changes straightforward so you can adapt to different surfaces.
The Tamiya Astute 2022 is a well engineered 1/10 buggy kit that blends solid chassis design with straightforward setup options for competitive hobby use.
