Tamiya Buggyra Racing Fat Fox (TT-01 Type E)

A Winning Team

Buggyra Racing took a glorious brace of titles in the 2017 season of the prestigious truck racing circuit, becoming Drivers’ and Constructors’ Champions. This R/C model assembly kit recreates their 2018 season No.1 truck, the long-nosed form captured by a 4-piece body combined with separate molded parts for side mirrors. Stickers are included to depict the wealth of logos on the truck. Efficient, reliable shaft-driven 4WD is provided by the TT-01 Type-E chassis.

TT-01 Type-E: Evolved Chassis

The bathtub frame of the evolved shaft-driven 4WD TT-01 Type-E has its motor and battery close to the ground for a low center of gravity and optimum balance. Mounted on the bathtub frame is a fiberglass reinforced nylon upper deck and gear covers improving rigidity, as well as a 3-piece tie rod providing a smoother steering action. The low center of gravity, balanced design, 4-wheel double wishbone suspension system, and front and rear differential gears all come together to produce an excellent drive. 70mm-diameter radial tires are paired with dedicated racing truck wheels; the high sidewalls make for forgiving turns.
