Tamiya 58404 - 1/10 DB01 Baldre Lightweight Buggy Chassis Kit  [58404]

Introduction to the DB01 Baldre Platform

The Tamiya 58404 - 1/10 DB01 Baldre RC Buggy Chassis Kit combines practical engineering and a focus on handling consistency. Based on the DB01 series, this chassis provides a solid foundation for both entry-level builders and seasoned competitors refining their setup.

Centralised Mass and Enclosed Transmission

Placing the battery and motor centrally improves balance and reduces unwanted rotation during cornering. The twin-belt 4WD drivetrain is enclosed to shield the belts from dirt, drawing on the design principles used in the TRF501X to maintain reliable performance.

Suspension Versatility and Component Durability

The double wishbone suspension, manufactured from robust ABS resin, allows a variety of tuning options for different track conditions. Full ball bearings are fitted throughout the drivetrain to lower friction and support smoother acceleration.

Package Contents and Required Electronics

The kit includes a featherweight polycarbonate body with a rear wing, wheels, tyres, and a Type 540 motor so most mechanical parts are in place. To complete the car you must supply a 2-channel transmitter, ESC, running battery, and charger.

The Tamiya 58404 DB01 Baldre is a dependable kit for modelers who value a sealed drivetrain and a chassis that reacts well to precise setup changes. It is well suited to those who want to learn setup or chase lap-time gains.
