Relive the excitement of the 1980s with Tamiya's re-release of the Novafox, a high-performance 1/10 scale 2WD off-road racer. This model is an update of the popular buggy that was a companion to the famous Hotshot in the late 1980s. The Novafox features a sleek polycarbonate body reminiscent of a real racing buggy, and its markings are inspired by the original design. Gold-colored, metal-plated wheels are equipped with ribbed front and oval block rear tires for optimal off-road performance.
Updated 2WD Off-Road Chassis The Novafox retains its dust-resistant monocoque frame and independent four-wheel double wishbone suspension while receiving updates to make it more suited to modern R/C driving. It now features dogbone drive shafts and a stabilizer to help neutralize roll. The sealed gearbox and rear uprights now include a total of 8 ball bearings as standard, ensuring more effective power transmission.
