1/10 Scale Electric 2WD Off‑Road Buggy • Assembly Kit
The Tamiya Fighter NXGEN (58741) introduces the next generation of Tamiya’s long‑running Fighter buggy series, built on the all‑new DT‑04 rear‑wheel‑drive chassis. Designed as an approachable yet capable 1/10 scale electric off‑road buggy kit, the Fighter NXGEN combines easy assembly, modern suspension design, and lively 2WD performance—making it ideal for beginners and experienced hobbyists alike.
Inspired by full‑size single‑seater off‑road buggies, the NXGEN delivers a bold new look while retaining the durability and simplicity the Fighter series is known for.
About the Fighter NXGEN
Next‑Generation Fighter Buggy
The Fighter NXGEN marks the evolution of the Fighter lineup, following the DT‑01, DT‑02, and DT‑03‑based models. Its modular body design features multiple molded panels mounted to a pipe‑frame‑style structure, giving it a realistic racing buggy appearance.
A driver figure is included, enhancing scale realism and visual impact straight out of the box.
Chassis & Performance
DT‑04 Rear‑Wheel‑Drive Platform
At the core of the kit is the DT‑04 chassis, a newly designed 2WD rear‑wheel‑drive platform focused on traction, stability, and ease of use:
-
Rear‑mounted motor for improved rear‑wheel grip
-
Inline battery position for balanced weight distribution
-
Sealed gearbox with gear differential to keep out dirt and dust
-
Selectable wheelbase: 265mm (agile handling) or 280mm (high‑speed stability)
The suspension features four‑wheel independent double wishbone arms with long travel and CVA oil‑filled dampers, allowing the buggy to handle bumps, jumps, and uneven terrain with confidence. A newly adopted 3‑piece steering tie‑rod system provides precise, responsive steering.
Front ribbed tires and rear square‑spike tires come standard for predictable off‑road traction.
Build Experience & Upgrade Potential
The Fighter NXGEN is engineered for straightforward assembly, making it an excellent first off‑road RC kit. Many components are shared with the DT‑02 and DT‑03 platforms, giving builders access to a wide range of optional tuning and upgrade parts as skills progress.
