The Dual Ridge is a 4WD buggy based on the easy to build and easy to maintain TT-02B off-road chassis platform. Its body features aggressive aerodynamics and a futuristic form which is legendary among Tamiya's fun to build and drive off-road buggies. The form itself was designed by a famous Japanese designer who is spearheading many of Honda Motors Companies vehicles of the not so distant future.
The TT-02B uses the TT-02 as s base, adding longer suspension arms, CVA shock units, and buggy bumpers to give it great off-road performance. Of course, it retains the TT-02's excellent drivability and easy of assembly and maintenance, while motor cooling ducts and receiver case add to the model's durability.
This iteration of the Dual Ridge comes as a Ready-to-Run (Expert Built) model. Tamiya's Expert Built (XB) series provides instant R/C excitement without the need for assembly. All the same spare and Hop-Up-Up parts as the assembly kit can be used to maintain and upgrade the Ready-To-Run model.
