Tamiya 58719 - BBX 1/10 2WD Off-Road Buggy Kit on BB-01 Chassis  [58719]

Tamiya 58719 BBX - Retro looks with modern handling

For model builders who value period-correct style and practical performance, the Tamiya 58719 BBX delivers both. This 1/10 scale 2WD off-road buggy revisits the classic dune buggy silhouette while incorporating updates that improve durability and on-track behaviour.

Body and styling inspired by classic sand rails

Atsushi Arino's design gives the BBX a distinct vintage profile. The 0.7mm polycarbonate shell is produced in three parts to capture the tapered sand rail shape. Retro graphics sit alongside new metal-plated bead lock wheels and large tyres to create an authentic, eye-catching package.

BB-01 chassis engineered for realistic layout

The BB-01 chassis blends a monocoque approach with a roll cage style framework to support realistic bodywork. A new front double wishbone suspension and a rear trailing arm layout, influenced by UTV geometry, provide steady control over uneven terrain. Rear motor placement helps with traction in loose surfaces.

Smooth suspension and adaptable drivetrain

Ride quality comes from a four-wheel double wishbone arrangement paired with aeration oil-filled aluminium dampers for predictable response. The TA06 rear oil-filled gear differential allows for common Grade-Up parts, making it simple to tune handling or change gear ratios to match your driving style.

Kit form for hands-on hobbyists

The BBX is supplied as a kit for builders who enjoy assembly. Required electronics include a 2-channel radio, a low-profile steering servo, a 540 motor, an ESC, and a 7.2-7.4volt battery plus compatible charger. A driver figure and light housings are included and the rear roll cage is removable to ease maintenance.

The Tamiya 58719 BBX suits collectors who want a faithful retro build and drivers who plan to upgrade handling. Its blend of classic looks and tuneable components makes it a versatile kit for many RC hobbies.
