Tamiya 58374-60A Sand-Viper DT-02 1/10 Scale 2WD Buggy Kit  [58374-60A]

Designed for Easy Builds and Off-Road Enjoyment

The Tamiya 58374-60A Sand-Viper brings a hands-on build experience and dependable running characteristics in a 1/10 package. Built on the proven DT-02 chassis, it is suitable for those entering the hobby as well as modders seeking a reliable base car.

Frame, Shell and Wheels

The low-centre bathtub frame offers stable handling, and the polycarbonate body keeps weight down while resisting knocks. The yellow paintwork with grey dish wheels provides visibility on track, and the front grooved tyres combined with rear spikes give the buggy balanced traction on variable surfaces.

DT-02 Platform and Handling Basics

The DT-02 layout makes servicing and upgrades straightforward, with fully independent double wishbone suspension that keeps control predictable. Full ball bearings help reduce rolling drag and let the 540-brushed motor run more freely for consistent on-track performance.

Setup Notes and Recommended Parts

For better acceleration or top speed, experiment with gear ratios appropriate to your conditions. A higher quality steering servo will improve cornering accuracy, and since the kit does not include an ESC, fitting a compatible unit is necessary to fully utilise the 540-brushed motor.

The Sand-Viper DT-02 is a sensible choice for hobbyists who want a reliable, tuneable buggy. Its straightforward architecture makes upgrades and repairs easy, while offering good baseline performance out of the box.
