Tamiya 58719 - 1/10 BBX Off-Road Buggy Kit, 2WD (BB-01 Chassis)  [58719]

Tamiya 58719 BBX - classic dune profile with tuneable performance

The Tamiya 58719 BBX brings a classic dune buggy silhouette to a builder-friendly 1/10 scale kit. It combines period styling cues with a chassis and suspension layout that lets hobbyists fine-tune handling for club runs or casual off-road sessions.

Heritage styling with accurate body sections

Designed by Atsushi Arino, the BBX body recreates the tapered sand rail aesthetic across three 0.7mm polycarbonate sections. The retro livery pairs with metal-plated bead lock wheels and large tyres to produce an authentic look that is also practical for off-road use.

BB-01 chassis tuned for predictable control

The BB-01 platform uses a semi-monocoque with a roll cage concept to accept scale bodywork while remaining stiff. The updated front double wishbone suspension and rear trailing arm configuration, drawing on UTV ideas, provide consistent steering and stability. Rear motor mounting contributes to traction under acceleration.

Refined suspension and upgrade pathways

Handling comes from a four-wheel double wishbone arrangement and aeration oil-filled aluminium dampers that deliver composed responses. The TA06 rear oil-filled gear differential supports a range of Grade-Up parts, so owners can upgrade differential tuning and drivetrain components as needed.

Kit notes and recommended components

Sold as a kit, the BBX requires a 2-channel radio, a low-profile steering servo, a 540 motor, an ESC, and a 7.2-7.4volt battery with charger. Included are a driver figure and light cases, and the removable rear roll cage makes servicing straightforward.

The Tamiya 58719 BBX is well suited to modellers who want a period-accurate build with sensible upgrade options. Its combination of classic looks and modern components makes it a practical addition to any RC collection.
