Overview
Please Note:
This kit comes without an ESC, Servo, Battery, Charger, or Transmitter and will come with an unpainted body that may require cutting, painting and drilling.
The Tamiya BBX is a 1/10 scale RC buggy that's ready to conquer any off-road challenge. This unique and stylish model features a design inspired by classic 2WD buggies and 1980s sand rail dune buggies, with a touch of UTV influence for a modern twist. The robust hybrid monocoque-roll cage chassis provides a strong foundation for realistic bodies, while the rear-trailing arm suspension, borrowed from full-size UTVs, delivers impressive handling and control over rough terrain.
The BBX is powered by a rear-mounted motor, providing a predictable and fun driving experience. The adjustable ball differential allows you to fine-tune the handling characteristics to match your driving style and track conditions. CVA oil shocks ensure smooth damping over bumps and jumps, while full ball bearings keep the drivetrain running efficiently.
This versatile platform offers exciting upgrade possibilities, allowing you to customise your BBX for the ultimate off-road adventure. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast or new to the hobby, the Tamiya BBX is a fantastic choice for experiencing the thrill of off-road buggy racing.
