Take Command of Sand and Loose Terrain with the Tamiya Sand-Viper

The Tamiya 58374-60A Sand-Viper stands out among 1/10 scale buggies thanks to a build that balances straightforward assembly and durable performance. Built on the DT-02 platform, this 2WD buggy is a solid pick for hobbyists who want an approachable kit that still handles rough tracks and backyard bashing.

Chassis and Body Details

The bathtub-style chassis keeps weight low for improved stability, while the polycarbonate shell resists dings and stays light for agile responses. The eye-catching yellow finish pairs with gray dish wheels, and the tyre setup with grooved fronts and rear spikes gives confident traction across dirt and gravel.

DT-02 Handling and Servicing

The DT-02 layout focuses on easy assembly and routine maintenance, with a fully independent double wishbone arrangement that delivers predictable steering. Full ball bearings are fitted to reduce friction and help the 540-brushed motor run more efficiently, making the buggy feel smoother on long runs.

Tuning Tips and Electronics

To tailor performance, adjust the pinion and spur gear ratio to match your terrain and driving style. Upgrading to a quality steering servo sharpens turn-in, and installing a compatible ESC is required to power the 540-brushed motor and unlock full throttle control.

The Sand-Viper on the DT-02 chassis is a practical entry for new builders who still want upgrade paths. Its simple layout makes upkeep easy, while tuners can swap gearing, servos, and electronics to suit performance goals.
