Tamiya Fighter Nxgen (Dt-04)
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. The body will also be an interesting part to see!!
