Tamiya Buggyra Fat Fox 1/14 4WD On-Road Euro Truck Kit (TT-01)
About this part
The Tamiya Buggyra Fat Fox 1/14 4WD On-Road Semi Truck is a scale recreation of the full size Buggyra Racing Fat Fox truck piloted in the 2018 season of the European truck racing circuit by 2017 champion Adam Lacko. The realistic 3-piece body is made from lightweight and durable polycarbonate, with separately molded plastic side mirrors, coupler and rear bumper parts. The TT-01 Type-E chassis is a proven performer, and this chassis is fitted with dedicated semi-truck wheels and tires for the model.
The bathtub frame of the evolved shaft-driven 4WD TT-01 Type-E has its motor and battery close to the ground for lower 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, great balanced design, 4-wheel double wishbone suspension system, and front and rear differential gears all come together to produce excellent operating ability. 70mm-diameter radial tires are paired with wheels developed just for this model; the high sidewalls make for forgiving turns.

Fun and easy to build. And once it’s running the real fun begins. We race these on an oval track and it’s hilarious. Highly recommend!
Awesome truck Fun to drive Easy to assemble Make sure you buy the bearing kit
A nice kit from Tamiya that uses their TT01 chassis. Straight forward assembly and I used a bearing kit from Fast Eddie. The body is a multiple piece assembly which may challenge a a beginner modeler. Very pleased with the final product.
this kit was so much fun to assemble and being a tt-01e chassis performance is predictable with plenty of parts support. the body is a bit of a challenge but that being said it has been a wonderful experience.
Fun build and fun to race. I have all four of the Tamiya Euro truck and this is my favorite, don't forget to add ball bearings and The plastic Tamiya oil filled shocks for a much better experience.
Reviewers uniformly rate the Tamiya Buggyra Fat Fox 1/14 4WD On-Road Euro Truck Kit (TT-01) five stars, describing the build as straightforward and enjoyable with clear instructions. Many highlight its fun to drive and race, including on oval tracks and in Tamiya's racing series. Several reviewers recommend adding ball bearings, with one suggesting Fast Eddie's bearing kit, and upgrading to Tamiya oil-filled shocks. The multi-piece body is the main recurring challenge, described as complicated and potentially difficult for beginners, though reviewers say it is worth the effort. One review praises the seller's shipping and product condition, which is not about the kit itself.
