Neo Falcon: Classic Tamiya Engineering

The Tamiya 58401 Neo Falcon showcases straightforward design and practical parts for a 1/10 scale off-road buggy. With the DT-02 chassis as its backbone, the model focuses on dependable handling and easy servicing.

Chassis Overview and Protection

The DT-02 is valued for its simple yet effective construction, ideal for those who appreciate an easy build process. Its 2WD drivetrain and enclosed gearbox keep moving parts protected from dust and stones encountered on rough circuits.

Controlled Suspension for Confident Driving

Four independent double wishbones with oil dampers give the Neo Falcon predictable, controllable handling over bumps. Adjustable upper arms allow you to fine tune camber to suit tighter tracks or looser surfaces.

Bodywork and Wheel Choice

The polycarbonate body channels Mini 4WD PRO styling and keeps weight low to aid agility. White Astral Dish wheels fitted with grooved front tyres and spiked rear tyres offer a versatile grip setup across mixed surfaces.

Electrics and Getting Started

This kit includes a Type 540 motor and the TEU-101BK ESC. To operate the buggy you will require a 2-channel transmitter, a 7.2V battery pack and a compatible charger, all sold separately. This basic configuration is easy to maintain and upgrade.

Tamiya 58401 Neo Falcon is a sensible, upgrade-friendly kit that suits a range of hobbyists from occasional drivers to those wanting to learn setup and maintenance basics for competitive running.

While aimed at hobbyists, the DT-02 chassis can be tuned for club-level events with appropriate upgrades to motor, tyres and suspension components.
The oil dampers are straightforward to strip and rebuild, making routine maintenance and oil changes easy to perform at home.
LiPo installation is possible with careful attention to battery tray dimensions and appropriate ESC settings. Ensure battery fits securely and observe safe charging and handling practices.
For prepared dirt, softer compound tyres with a mixed tread pattern improve traction and reduce sliding. Test tyre choices in practice to find the best match for your track.
