Tamiya 58275 Mad Fighter - Accessible Off-Road Kit

Tamiya is known for solid kit engineering, and the Tamiya 58275 Mad Fighter 1/10 Off-Road Buggy Kit provides a user-friendly electric buggy experience. It is suitable for both newcomers assembling their first kit and experienced modellers seeking a tunable platform.

Clear Instructions and Pre-Coloured Body

The parts are organised to match the build sequence, making the assembly smoother for those less familiar with kit construction. The body shell and rear wing are moulded in glossy orange ABS, so painting is optional and the supplied stickers finish the look.

Stable Chassis and Impact-Ready Suspension

Riding on the DT-01 chassis, the Mad Fighter delivers predictable handling across rough ground. The independent front swing arms and the rear center pivot rolling rigid setup work with four coil-spring friction dampers to manage jumps and uneven terrain.

Upgrade Path for Better Handling

The stock setup is capable, but many hobbyists opt to add ball bearings or upgrade to oil dampers to reduce friction and refine ride control for more demanding driving.

Yes, the clear layout and simple drivetrain make it a good platform for learning routine maintenance like gear checks and shock servicing.
Soft compound tyres suit loose surfaces while medium compound tyres are a good compromise for mixed grass and packed dirt; experiment to find what suits local conditions.
Tamiya spare parts and common upgrade components are still widely stocked, so repairs and improvements are straightforward to source.
