Tamiya Novafox RC Buggy 1/10 Scale - 58577

The Tamiya Novafox (TAM58577) is a 1/10 scale radio control buggy kit that recreates the classic rear-wheel-drive off-road buggy in Tamiya's traditional build-it-yourself format. Based on the original Novafox design from the 1980s, this re-release gives builders a tub-style chassis, double-wishbone front suspension, and a distinctive bodyshell that defined a generation of RC buggy racing. It's aimed at hobbyists who enjoy the build process as much as the driving — assembling this RC buggy from the ground up is a big part of the appeal.

Key Features

• 1/10 scale kit build — requires full assembly before use, making it well suited to intermediate builders with some RC experience
• Rear-wheel-drive tub chassis layout with double-wishbone front suspension and a solid rear axle, characteristic of the original Novafox design
• Includes a pre-painted and pre-cut polycarbonate bodyshell, reducing finishing time compared to kits that require painting from scratch
• Suited to light off-road surfaces such as dirt tracks, hardpack, and smooth grass rather than rocky or heavily rutted terrain
• Compatible with standard Tamiya hop-up options and aftermarket 540-class motors, giving room to tune the buggy over time
