Tamiya Fighter NXGEN (DT-04)
About this product
The Tamiya Fighter NXGEN (DT-04) is a 2WD buggy kit, built on Tamiya’s DT-01 chassis. It arrives as a box of parts rather than a finished car, so you assemble the chassis, fit the electronics and paint or trim the body before the first run.
Finished, it measures 395mm long with a 265mm wheelbase.
Tamiya supply a Type 540 motor and an electronic speed controller in the box.
