Introduction to the Super Fighter G Kit

The Tamiya 58340 Super Fighter G is a 1/10 scale buggy that combines straightforward construction with reliable performance. Built around the DT-02 chassis, it gives a neutral handling feel that is forgiving for newcomers while still offering room for setup changes by experienced drivers. The battery location keeps the chassis balanced for consistent cornering.

DT-02 Chassis: Built for Versatility

The DT-02 is a purpose-built 2WD platform that protects electronics in its bathtub frame and keeps maintenance simple. Its sealed gearbox reduces exposure to dust and debris, and the lightweight layout helps the car respond well to steering inputs on a variety of surfaces.

Performance Components and Handling

Equipped to accept a 540-type electric motor, the Super Fighter G provides dependable power suited to club runs and casual races. Double wishbone suspension and coil spring dampers control body movement over bumps, while the differential smooths power delivery. The tyre pairing of grooved fronts and spiked rears delivers predictable steering and traction.

Suggestions for Setup and Running

Adjust shock damping and tyre choices to match your preferred track type. The kit supports common hop-ups for those seeking improved damping, stronger driveline parts, or different gearing to alter acceleration and top speed.
