Heritage Sand Rover Revisited

The Tamiya 57865 Sand Rover recaptures classic buggy character while remaining user-friendly for regular running. On the DT-02 chassis this ready-to-run model offers a straightforward layout that appeals to hobbyists who prefer reliable hardware and simple maintenance. The 2WD system and independent double wishbone suspension deliver consistent handling across a range of surfaces.

Traditional Looks with Modern Radio

Although the Sand Rover wears a retro body, its electronics are contemporary and dependable. The assembled 2-channel radio uses 2.4GHz to avoid interference, so you get steady control whether you are running solo or alongside other models.

Practical Engineering for Everyday Running

The DT-02 chassis is popular for its ruggedness and easy upkeep. The gear-driven 2WD configuration and friction dampers provide stable traction and uncomplicated shock action. The ABS shell resists damage from knocks and the painted driver figure completes the vintage appearance.
