Period Styling Meets Practical Hobby Engineering

The Tamiya 58336-60A is a 1/10 scale 2WD buggy that brings classic lines back to the pits with sensible modern touches. It appeals to those who enjoy period-correct builds that are still practical to run and maintain.

Durable Layout for Everyday Running

The ABS resin bathtub chassis gives a rigid, repairable base and the sealed gearbox keeps internals protected from grit. Oil-filled rear dampers provide compliant suspension while the RS 540 brushed motor delivers dependable, easy to tune power.

Simple Modifications That Matter

Consider upgrading to ball bearings and testing different damper oils to refine handling. Minor changes to tyre choice and gear ratios can also tailor the car to your preferred driving style without heavy modification.

Collectible Yet Ready to Drive

This kit works well as a display restoration or as a daily runner for club events. Its nostalgic appeal is matched by a build that invites regular maintenance and thoughtful upgrades.

A basic 2.4 GHz radio system with a reliable servo and a compatible ESC will suffice. Choose a compact receiver and a servo with suitable torque for steering loads.
Clean the chassis, dry dampers and tyres, and detach batteries. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight to prevent plastic warping and tyre hardening.
Many vintage classes welcome restored kits that retain period specifications. Check event rules on electronics and allowed modifications before entering.
Use polycarbonate compatible paints and light primer. Apply decals with patience and sealing coats to protect finish during running.
