Tamiya 58686-60A VQS Vanquish 1/10 Off-Road Kit - Retro Reissue (W/O ESC)  [58686-60A]

Vanquish by Tamiya - A Retro Buggy Updated for Practical Use

The Vanquish badge is well known among RC enthusiasts. Tamiya's 58686-60A VQS Vanquish reissue brings that classic styling back with a few key improvements. This 1/10 scale model balances nostalgic appeal with parts that make running and servicing easier.

Pre-Finished Body to Save Build Time

Included is a pre-painted, pre-cut polycarbonate body which simplifies the finishing process and gives a neat appearance straight from the box. The bathtub style chassis preserves the original layout while offering durable support for various surfaces.

Metal Parts for Better Reliability

The inclusion of aluminium front uprights and universal drive shafts improves steering precision and strength compared with plastic-only components. These items, influenced by later Avante designs, help the VQS cope better with competitive use.

Motor, Differentials and Electronics Note

The kit is set up for a 540-size brushed motor, providing straightforward performance tuning. Planetary gear differentials manage power delivery to each wheel for consistent traction. Bear in mind the ESC is excluded from the kit, so you will need to add a compatible speed controller and battery.

The VQS Vanquish appeals to modellers who want an authentic classic that is also usable on modern tracks. Its mix of metal upgrades and traditional layout makes it suited to restoration projects or tuned running.
