TAMIYA 1/10 ASTUTE 2022 (TD2) PRE-PAINTED LIMITED EDITION
Truly Awesome!
This 2WD R/C off-road assembly kit buggy inherits its name from the 1980s Tamiya R/C rear-wheel drive model “Astute.” The low-profile, sleek polycarbonate body is designed by Kota Nezu of znug design; it comes pre-cut and pre-painted in red, as are the mini fenders. The model features a driver figure (unpainted) for the cockpit. Two types (high/low) of wing stays are included to adjust downforce. Based on a monocoque frame chassis with midship motor and battery pack position toward the rear, the Astute 2022 utilizes front ribbed and rear square spike tires.
TD2 – Superbly Balanced RWD
The TD2 is a rear-wheel drive buggy chassis which employs front inboard suspension for slim, low-profile form, and a monocoque frame with optimum R/C equipment layout. It features a midship transverse motor and transverse battery pack positioned to the rear. The sealed gearbox has a built-in ball differential to limit slip and 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension utilizes CVA oil dampers. Turnbuckle shafts for use as upper arms facilitate camber angle adjustment. Front suspension has a skid angle of 25 degrees and angled dampers for smooth performance. Ribbed front and rear square spike tires facilitate stability and great grip. Front wheels are attached by hex hubs.
- Pre-painted in red with black cockpit interior parts, and pre-cut, the bocy and fenders are ready for application of stickers!
- The TD2 layout has the motor installed midships, while the battery pack in a position toward the rear to aid with traction.
- A hi-torque servo saver comes included as standard, and helps actuate the steering via a three-piece tie-rod setup.
- Smooth front inboard suspension has suspension arms with a 25-degree skid angle and CVA oil dampers at a similar gradient.
- Upper “I” and lower “H” arms are employed in the front suspension. Turnbuckle shaft upper arms allow swift adjustment of camber.
- Black star dish design wheels are paired with sturdy hex hub nuts and front ribbed tires for superior directionality.
- The motor is attached in a transverse position to the rear of the battery pack, providing power to a drivetrain with three gears.
- A ball differential is housed in the sealed gearbox. Steel joint cups secure the durability needed for a demanding off-road drive.
- CVA oil dampers have red springs in keeping with the livery theme of the stylish Astute 2022.
- The rear suspension setup features a combination of lower “H” arms and upper turnbuckle shafts.
- At the rear, black star dish wheels are used in combination with square spike tires to give the model plenty of bite.
- Seen from the side, one can appreciate just how lowdown this streamlined buggy gets, with an accent provided by the fenders.
- The cockpit is a particular highlight, with an aircraft-inspired canopy and a driver figure installed inside for superb realism.
- Two different wing stay designs (high and low) are included in the kit, to help you tweak the car’s downforce. This image shows low types.
- Front polycarbonate mini-fenders are screw-attached to their upright. Blue sections are taken care of with stickers.
- If you like, side pontoon front sections can be left unpainted to provide a window into the car’s inner workings!
