Tamiya Vanquish VQS 2020 Release 1/10th Scale 4WD RC Buggy Kit 58686

The Vanquish (T58076) is a legendary buggy from Tamiya's long history, and has finally made it's much-anticipated return as a re-issue named the VQS, with tweaks to bring it into the modern day.

The classic form of the buggy is captured in lightweight and durable poly-carbonate, pre-painted and cut, with holes already made. Stickers are based upon those in the original.
A bathtub chassis provides a really solid base for the model that lets you enjoy thrilling off-road rides without undue worry.
Highly rigid aluminium front uprights and efficient universal shafts are designs inherited from the 2011 reissue of the Avante.
The smooth drivetrain employs the planetary gear differential units from the original Avante.
This R/C model assembly kit is an updated re-release version of a 1988 buggy from the Tamiya back catalog, which inherited its make-up from the legendary race-oriented Avante. The forward cockpit body design - and the rear wing - are moulded in lightweight polycarbonate and pre-painted black, pre-cut with body mount holes pre-made to save on some preparation work. An ABS plastic monocoque frame is employed, with responsive shaft-driven 4WD plus a triple differential setup, four-wheel double wishbone suspension and plenty more - superb off-road driving awaits!

This model's durable ABS plastic monocoque frame protects vital R/C equipment and boosts suspension performance with its excellent rigidity. A total of three differentials are employed: small front and rear planetary gear differentials, and a centre differential with ball thrust bearing; front and rear gearboxes also have maintenance hatches. Universal shafts front and rear ensure smooth, efficient drive and minimal worry about parts coming loose due to bumps and shocks, while the Avante-based 4-wheel double wishbone suspension employs plastic lower arms with threaded shaft upper arms that allow swift adjustment of camber. Front uprights are aluminium, and stabilizers are included for the front and rear.
