Tamiya 58502-60A Blitzer Beetle 1/10 Electric Off-Road Kit  [58502-60A]

Tamiya 58502-60A Build and Ride Summary

The Tamiya 58502-60A is a 1/10 electric buggy assembly kit that pairs durable construction with familiar mechanical design. It appeals to modellers and RC drivers who value custom paintwork and straightforward mechanical setups.

Solid Frame and Unpainted Bodyshell

Underneath the body is an ABS bathtub chassis that aims to be both light and robust for rough use. The motor is mounted at the rear in a rear-wheel drive configuration to concentrate traction where it helps most. The body is supplied in white resin ready for painting with Tamiya TS paints, and small parts like side mirrors help create a realistic finish.

Suspension and Tyre Layout for Traction

Independent double wishbone suspension at all four corners gives predictable wheel control, with C.V.A. oil-filled shock absorbers smoothing bumps. Monocoque lower arms improve longevity. The front tyres feature a three-rib tread for directional stability, while the rear tyres blend spikes and an X-shaped pattern to maximise grip on loose surfaces.

Enclosed Gearbox for Cleaner Operation

The fully enclosed gearbox protects gears from dirt ingress, which helps maintain smooth running and reduces maintenance frequency after off-road outings.

Driver Figure Adds Scale Appeal

An included driver figure enhances the model's presentation and gives the finished buggy a more authentic look when displayed or driven.

The Tamiya 58502-60A suits enthusiasts who want a dependable, tuneable 1/10 buggy with room for personal upgrades and paint customisation.
