The Astute 2022 delivers Tamiya reliability through a TD2 chassis focused on balance and drivability. The kit offers a hands-on build and a platform that responds predictably to setup adjustments on a range of surfaces.
The TD2's front inboard suspension reduces frontal height and concentrates mass lower in the chassis. With a 25 degree skid angle on the front arms, the layout helps the tyres track over obstacles while CVA oil dampers control suspension movement for steady grip.
The monocoque frame adds rigidity and the ball differential arrangement, shared with the TD4, lends smooth driveline behaviour. A rear transverse battery and midship motor position promote neutral handling, and the three-gear drive gives efficient power transfer.
The polycarbonate body is both light and durable, and the star dish wheels support tyre shape under load. Multiple wing stay positions enable quick rear downforce adjustments so you can tune for stability or top speed as required.
Designed as an assembly kit, the Astute 2022 is suitable for newcomers keen to learn setup basics as well as experienced drivers who want a capable chassis to refine and upgrade.
The Tamiya Astute 2022 pairs a robust TD2 chassis with easy-to-understand tuning options, making it a sensible choice for hobbyists seeking reliable off-road performance.
