Tamiya 58399 - 1/10 Plasma Edge DF-02 Off-Road Buggy Kit  [58399]

Overview of the Tamiya 58399 Plasma Edge DF-02

The Tamiya 58399 Plasma Edge DF-02 is a dependable off-road kit that balances simplicity and capability for hobbyists. It provides a familiar platform that is easy to maintain and offers scope for upgrades as driving skills progress.

Engine and Gearbox Layout

At its core the DF-02 chassis gives a predictable handling baseline. The Type 540 motor is mounted longitudinally inside a bathtub frame for a lower center of gravity, and the sealed ball bearing gearbox reduces friction while protecting the internals.

Handling and Damping Characteristics

Equipped with independent suspension all round and oil-filled dampers, the Plasma Edge absorbs bumps and keeps traction consistent on grass, mud or hard tracks. The damping setup aids control during jumps and quick direction changes.

Appearance, Weight and Inclusions

The clear polycarbonate body is lightweight and supplied with updated stickers and coloured wheels for a distinct look. The TEU-101BK ESC is included with the kit, while a 2-channel radio, battery and charger must be obtained separately.

The Tamiya 58399 Plasma Edge DF-02 is a practical and adaptable buggy, ideal for those who want a reliable kit to run, maintain and slowly upgrade over time.
