The Tamiya 58507 DB02 Leonis is a 1/10 scale buggy that combines thoughtful layout with practical serviceability. The DB02 chassis uses a shaft-driven 4WD system and a horizontally mounted motor near the centre to promote balanced handling and predictable cornering.
The TOM'S-designed polycarbonate body employs a cab-forward layout to smooth airflow toward the rear wing, improving straight-line stability and reducing unsettled behaviour when landing jumps.
Torque is transmitted through four bevel gears and prop shafts into front and rear gearboxes, supported by a solid die-cast motor mount beside the spur and bevel gears. Ball differentials help refine traction, and the DB01-sourced 4-wheel double wishbone suspension with CVA dampers provides compliant travel and reliable control. The chassis accepts DB01 option parts for those wanting to upgrade handling or durability.
The Tamiya 58507 DB02 Leonis is well suited to builders who want a tunable, race-inspired platform that is straightforward to maintain and upgrade.
