Take on Rough Runs with the XB Desert Gator

The Tamiya 57748 XB Desert Gator is a ready-to-run 2WD buggy that balances sturdiness with user-friendly handling, ideal for regular club meetups or weekend trail runs. The setup is straightforward for hobbyists focused on driving rather than assembly.

Reliable Drive Layout and Suspension

Featuring a transverse Type RS540 motor, the chassis employs independent double wishbone suspension with oil dampers to smooth impacts and maximise tyre contact. The configuration keeps the buggy composed in corners and over uneven sections.

Protected Drivetrain and Robust Bodywork

The painted polycarbonate body resists everyday knocks and the sealed differential gearbox helps keep grit out of the gears. The grooved front tyres and rear spikes are chosen to deliver strong traction across a range of off-road surfaces.

Ready to Run with Core Electronics

Arrives fully assembled with pre-applied decals and includes the Expec SP R/C unit, a wheel transmitter and the TEU-101 electronic speed controller so you can be ready to drive after fitting batteries. Batteries are not included to let you select the best option for your needs.
