Tamiya's designers have taken inspiration from its back catalog of iconic 2WD off-road buggies to bring fans of radio control the BBX! This 1/10 R/C 2WD off-road buggy model features a combination of classic design and modern performance. Its chassis, reminiscent of 1980's sand rail dune buggies, is a hybrid monocoque-roll cage and employs rear trailing arm suspension inspired by full-size UTV's. The body is designed by famed Japanese artist Atsushi Arino and utilizes a classic 1980's inspired livery with retro wheels and tires to match!
Includes driver figure and light cases for extra realism, and 5th spare tire mount adapter. (Spare tire may be purchased separately for added realism)
Requires 2-channel radio, steering servo, 540 motor, ESC, 7.2-7.4volt battery with compatible charger and Tamiya PS paint to complete.
The classically designed 0.7mm thick polycarbonate body is split into three sections to recreate the tapered lower shape of the actual dune buggy.
2WD chassis is based on the one-piece monocoque frame and roll cage to allow use of realistic bodies.
The BB-01 chassis employs front double wishbone suspension with A-shaped arms and rear trailing arm suspension with long trailing arms which are inspired by UTVs and give impressive performance.
The 2WD chassis with rear motor features rear-position, inspired by the same layout of the actual vehicles of the era and allows great rear traction.
The four-wheel double wishbone suspension system uses CVA oil front/rear aluminum aeration dampers for impressive performance and classic look.
Transmission uses the TA06 rear oil-filled gear differential which allows the use of many existing Grade-Up parts.
Features full ball bearings and universal drive shafts.
Rear roll cage can be removed by detaching screws, which ensures ease of maintenance around motor.
Metal-plated bead lock type wheels are paired with large-diameter tires.
