The Tamiya TD-2 Astute 2022 is a high performance 2WD buggy that pays homage to the legendary 1980s Tamiya Astute while incorporating modern design and engineering. This meticulously crafted RC car features a sleek, low-profile body designed by Kota Nezu of znug design, complete with a driver figure and individual front and rear fenders. The aerodynamic body is complemented by two types of wing stays (high and low) for adjusting downforce and optimising performance.
Built on the capable TD2 chassis, the Astute 2022 boasts a monocoque frame with a midship motor layout and a rearward-positioned battery pack for enhanced traction. The sealed gearbox houses a built-in ball differential to limit slip and ensure smooth power delivery, while the 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension with CVA oil-filled shocks provide exceptional handling and responsiveness. Turnbuckle shafts used as upper arms allow for easy camber angle adjustment, and the front suspension features a 25-degree skid angle and angled dampers for smooth cornering.

The TD2's midship motor layout and rear-biased battery placement create an optimal weight distribution for enhanced traction. The transverse-mounted motor efficiently delivers power to the 3-gear drivetrain, resulting in a responsive and agile driving experience. This configuration ensures maximum grip and control, allowing you to confidently navigate corners and accelerate with precision.
Fine-tune your TD-4 Avante's aerodynamic performance with the included high and low wing stay options. These adjustable components allow you to customize the downforce generated by the rear wing, optimising handling for different track conditions and driving styles. (This image shows the low wing stay configuration.)
The TD-4 Avante rolls on eye-catching black star dish wheels, secured with sturdy hex hub nuts. These wheels are paired with front ribbed tyres for enhanced steering response and precision, giving you confident control on the track.
The TD-4 Avante features distinctive black star dish wheels paired with high-grip square spike tyres at the rear, providing excellent traction and control on a variety of surfaces. This combination ensures your buggy stays planted, allowing you to confidently navigate corners and accelerate with precision.
The TD-4 Avante features a responsive steering system with a high-torque servo saver and a three-piece tie-rod setup for precise control. The front inboard suspension ensures smooth and consistent handling, with suspension arms angled at 25 degrees and CVA oil-filled shocks positioned at a similar gradient for optimal damping and responsiveness.
The TD-4 Avante features a highly adjustable suspension system for precise tuning. The front suspension utilises upper "I" arms and lower "H" arms, with turnbuckle shafts on the upper arms for quick camber adjustments. The rear suspension also incorporates turnbuckle shafts on the upper arms, paired with lower "H" arms, allowing for fine-tuning of various suspension settings. This level of adjustability allows you to dial in your car's handling for optimal performance on any track.
