Unleashing the Power of the Tamiya 58497 Vajra
The Tamiya 58497 Vajra is not just any 4WD racing truck; it's a masterpiece designed for those who crave the thrill of off-road racing. Built on an extended version of the Avante's chassis, this 1/10 scale model offers enhanced stability and control, making it a top choice for both seasoned racers and hobbyists alike.
Engineering Excellence: The Heart of the Vajra
At the core of the Vajra lies a robust 2.0mm thick carbon fiber double-deck chassis that ensures durability without compromising on weight. Its 275mm wheelbase, longer than its predecessors, provides exceptional balance during high-speed maneuvers. The shift from aluminum to plastic suspension arms, inspired by the Vanquish kit, adds resilience while maintaining flexibility.
Precision Handling with Advanced Suspension
The Vajra's suspension system is a marvel of engineering. Featuring a 4-wheel double wishbone setup with aluminum front knuckles and resin suspension arms, it promises precise handling on varied terrains. Complemented by oil-filled CVA shock units and 3.5mm carbon fiber damper stays, this truck is built to absorb shocks effortlessly.
Performance-Driven Design
Equipped with front and rear V-pattern block tires and 5-spoke chrome-plated wheels, the Vajra delivers optimal traction and style. Its universal drive shafts and aluminum wheel hex hubs enhance the driving experience, ensuring smooth power delivery from the included GT-Tuned Motor (25T).
