Tamiya 58396 Dualhunter Kit Summary

The Tamiya 58396 Dualhunter adds a twin-motor approach to a monster truck chassis, producing reliable traction across varied terrain. It is a favourite for builders who plan to tweak gearing and suspension after the initial assembly.

Front and Rear Motor Configuration

With one motor driving the front and another driving the rear, the Dualhunter offers even power delivery to all four wheels. This helps maintain momentum over technical sections while the centrally mounted servo gives dependable steering response.

Rugged Body and Traction Setup

The robust polycarbonate body stands up to knocks and scrapes, and the 130mm spike tyres provide strong traction on loose surfaces. The double wishbone suspension with friction dampers helps the truck track steadily over uneven ground.

Maintenance and Customisation Options

The front and rear gearboxes can be removed separately for simple servicing and upgrades. This makes it straightforward to fit alternative motors, change gears, or install improved drivetrain parts.

Included Parts and Completion Needs

The included TEU-103BK FET ESC is set up for twin Type 540 motors. To complete the build you will need a 2-channel transmitter, a battery pack, a charger, and paint for the body shell.

For tinkerers and off-road enthusiasts, the Tamiya 58396 Dualhunter provides a sturdy, upgradeable platform that handles a variety of surfaces and modification plans.
