The Tamiya 84067 - TRF801X 1/8 Nitro Racing Buggy Kit is a precision-built 1/8 scale nitro buggy aimed at racers who want a durable, tunable platform. The kit combines a strong A7075 anodized duralumin chassis with a straight-line drivetrain to handle demanding track layouts and high-speed sections.
This kit features a low-profile polycarbonate body and a high-downforce wing to aid stability in fast corners. The 15 degree engine mount shifts mass for improved balance, while machined aluminum shock towers and reinforced steering knuckles add strength where it matters most.
Fine-tuning is straightforward thanks to dual receiver battery placements for weight adjustment, adjustable turnbuckle steering links, and front and rear stabilizers. These options let racers dial in handling for varying surfaces and grip levels.
The straight-line drivetrain uses universal drive shafts and sealed bevel differential gearboxes to minimise wear and ensure smooth power transfer. Spiral cut ring and pinion gears help reduce noise and increase longevity, and the 17mm hex hubs accept a wide wheel selection. Dual 32mm brakes give consistent stopping performance.
For experienced hobbyists and competitive racers, the TRF801X provides a robust base with broad setup potential. Its construction and component layout make it a dependable choice for anyone looking to compete at club or regional level.
