The Tamiya 56705 RC TT-Gear Desert Gator offers a compact electric buggy option for off-road enthusiasts. As a TamTech-Gear entry, it combines practical dimensions with sturdy components, making it accessible for new drivers and rewarding for those who like to upgrade and tune.
This model is built on a lightweight 2WD chassis and fitted with a 4-wheel independent friction-damped suspension to maintain composure over rough ground. The adjustable shock angle positions allow setup changes for varied surfaces. A slipper clutch and full ball bearings contribute to a smoother drivetrain while the 370 size motor supplies reliable propulsion.
The Desert Gator arrives ready-to-run with a pre-painted polycarbonate body and sticker sheet, and a clear body is offered as a spare for custom paint jobs. Rear-wheel drive, universal drive shafts and a ball differential combine to improve traction and straight-line acceleration. The included ESC, receiver, servo and 2-channel wheel transmitter allow extended runs of over 30 minutes depending on conditions.
There is a broad catalogue of optional parts for those who want to raise performance or personalise the look. Upgrade choices cover suspension, motor and cosmetic items to suit different driving aims.
Reliable and adaptable, the Tamiya Desert Gator works well for social bashing and for owners who enjoy incremental upgrades to handling and speed.
