The Tamiya Fighter NXGEN (DT-04) is a 1/10 scale R/C model assembly kit inspired by full-size single-seater racing buggies. Built on Tamiya’s next-generation DT-04 2WD rear-wheel-drive platform, it blends straightforward assembly with lively off-road performance and a broad range of setup options. Part number HC-58741.

The distinctive multi-panel body connects to pipe-frame styling for an authentic race look, while a newly designed lightweight bathtub chassis prioritises durability and balanced handling. Choose between two wheelbases to suit your track or driving style, and enjoy easy top-access battery changes thanks to a clever hinged roof and sliding driver figure. Paint the included driver with Tamiya Colour paints to complete the scale appearance.

Key Features

  • 1/10 scale assembly kit. Width: 248mm. Height: 120mm. Length: 395mm (265mm wheelbase) or 404mm (280mm wheelbase).
  • Selectable wheelbase: 265mm for agile handling or 280mm for added high-speed stability; switch by reassembling the front section.
  • New DT-04 2WD chassis with inline battery placement and rear-mounted motor for strong rear traction.
  • Sealed gearbox with built-in gear differential for smooth cornering and protection from dust and dirt.
  • 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension with long arms and CVA oil dampers.
  • Front suspension arms feature a 22.5° skid angle for improved off-road bump absorption.
  • Three-piece steering tie-rod layout for precise, true steering response.
  • Electronics layout with side pontoons: ESC on the left, receiver on the right.
  • Top-loading battery access: turn the hood lever, remove side pins, lift the roof and slide the driver forward.
  • Ribbed front tyres and grippy square spike rear tyres for off-road bite.
  • Front hex hubs allow the use of different wheel styles.
  • Adjustable rear damper mounting positions and tunable rear upper arms.
  • Includes two marking options and a driver figure.

Suggested Compatibility & Tuning

  • Shares front and rear suspension arms, gears and gearbox concepts with DT-02 and DT-03 series models; suggested compatibility with many DT-02/DT-03 option parts for fine-tuning.
 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!!
