Tamiya Fighter NXGEN (DT-04) TAM-58741

Here is another, hot entry to our Fighter Buggy series. 

This is an R/C model assembly kit inspired by full size single-seater racing buggies popular in America. The new DT-04 - a 2WD rear-wheel drive buggy chassis - of course offers ease of assembly and  lively performance, which is a characteristic of this series.

This product name "NXGEN" is based upon the English word "Next Generation" and as you can guess from the name, it gives improved off-road performance  and a wealth of setups. Also, front and rear suspension arms, gears and gearbox are from DT-02 and DT-03 chassis cars, and option parts from DT-02 and DT-03 chassis can be used for this chassis. Body will also be interesting part to see!

DT-04 Chassis: Lively RWD Performance
This is a rear-wheel drive buggy chassis which offers ease of assembly and lively performance. It has an inline battery pack position, and a rear-mounted motor to give the rear wheels plenty of traction.

The sealed gearbox has a built-in gear differential for smooth cornering and helps keep out dust and dirt. Two wheelbases can be selected: 265mm for emphasis on handling or 280mm for emphasis on stability. 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension with long arms employs CVA oil dampers. Front skid angle is 22.5 degrees to ensure both controllability and powerful performance.

The 3-piece steering tie-rod gives true steering. Here, the chassis features ribbed tires on the front, and grippy square spike tires on the rear.
