The Tamiya Astute (2022) Limited Edition is a special release of the iconic off-road buggy, now featuring a pre-painted and pre-cut body for added convenience and a stunning finish. This 1/10 scale RC car is perfect for both new and veteran hobbyists who want to focus on the excitement of building and driving without the extra steps of painting the body. The Astute is built on the new TD2 chassis, a high-performance platform based on the successful TD4 design.
The TD2 chassis boasts a front inboard suspension layout, resulting in a slim and low-profile design that enhances handling and stability. The front suspension arms have a 25-degree skid angle for exceptional ground clearance and off-road capability, while CVA oil dampers provide smooth and responsive suspension movement. The one-piece monocoque frame ensures a rigid and durable structure, and the use of a ball differential and full ball bearings throughout the driveline guarantees smooth and efficient power transfer. The midship transverse motor layout with a 3-gear transmission delivers optimal balance and improved performance. With its combination of classic design, modern technology, and ready-to-run convenience, the Tamiya Astute (2022) Limited Edition is a must-have for any RC enthusiast.

The drivetrain includes a sealed gearbox with a ball differential, reinforced steel joint cups, and a three-gear system for smooth and efficient power delivery.
The front inboard suspension features a 25-degree attack angle and CVA oil filled shocks for smooth and responsive handling. The rear suspension utilises a double wishbone configuration with CVA oil filled shocks and adjustable toe-in for precise tuning.
