The Tamiya 58497 Vajra combines a longer chassis with a compact 1/10 footprint to offer consistent handling and predictable feedback on technical off-road circuits. It is aimed at builders who favour a precise, tuneable setup.
The core chassis is a 2.0mm carbon fibre double-deck construction that keeps flex controlled while reducing mass. With a 275mm wheelbase and revised plastic suspension arms, the layout improves balance and impact tolerance compared with earlier designs.
The vehicle employs a four-wheel double wishbone layout with aluminium front knuckles and resin arms to retain alignment under load. Oil-filled CVA shock absorbers and 3.5mm carbon damper stays provide consistent damping for smoother corner exits.
Front and rear V-pattern block tyres fitted to chrome 5-spoke wheels deliver reliable traction in loose conditions. Universal shafts and aluminium hex hubs transmit power smoothly from the included GT-Tuned Motor (25T).
The Tamiya 58497 Vajra is a methodical platform for drivers focused on setup and handling, providing a sound starting point for performance upgrades and race tuning.
