VVTech’s TB1 Sand Buggy is the premium standard when it comes to 1/5 scale gas-powered RC vehicles. The TB1 was built for exploring new ground and outracing everyone else. With desert-inspired styling, this beast of a buggy gets over and through anything, and does it fast while looking good. With unparalleled construction and material standards, our progressive, high-impact technology sets us apart from any competitor. We offer a product that puts others to shame. We’re especially proud that the majority of the TB1’s components are made of extremely durable high-stress metal, leading to excellent vehicle life and low maintenance. For any environment, any time, and at the fastest speeds, the TB1 is the way to go!
100% Ready-to-Run (RTR) right out of the box, this buggy is easy and fun to use, and is ideally suited for sandy, wet, or rough terrain. Upgrade from that 1/10 scale to a real machine! And at our prices, this is one of the best RC vehicle investments you can make!
Four Wheel Drive (4WD) drivetrain system
TB1’s full-time 4WD all-steel drivetrain system features three differentials and allows for maximum traction and high efficiency power transfer from engine to tires. The high quality central drivetrain differential uses slip-grip front and rear driveshaft technology to give the best acceleration and top speed. With four wheels spinning, you can really see the difference in not only acceleration but super grip traction. All drivetrain components are manufactured from high quality steel, giving you the best power-to-weight ratio without sacrificing durability. If you’re still using 2WD vehicles, come see the difference 4WD can make!
High Power 28cc gas-powered Engine
The TB1’s industry leading two-stroke High Output Power (HPO) 28cc engine blows our competitor’s 26cc and 23cc engines out of the water. When they’re stuck crawling up a hill, rip past them with the power of the TB1! With an acceleration of ____ and a top speed of _____, look no further for racing performance. This smooth idling, simple tuning, incredibly reliable engine is perfect for the grit and sand. With a high flow optimized exhaust system and superior machining quality, this engine packs a punch for its size while keeping maintenance problems down. This two-stroke, single cylinder engine comes protected from debris and water, and features a high durability aluminum piston and heavy-duty connecting rod for better sealing and compression. Power upgrades are available for this engine, but with more displacement then the closest competitors, huge power is already available!
Independent Full-Metal Suspension System
Need to climb some rocks, rip through the sand, and corner on a slick swamp? The TB1 has the biggest suspension system you can find on a 1/5 RC vehicle! Four fully independent suspension arm/shock absorbers with 80 mm ground clearance make up the most impressive feature of the TB1. Ideally suited for racing in exotic terrain, the TB1 can handle anything from sand to snow to pavement. For the enthusiast looking for the best all-round suspension, look no further!
The huge suspension system has fully adjustable geometry (12-position rear shock absorbers, 14-position front shock absorbers, 3-position rear control arms, 2-position front control arms) and features massive long-travel coil-over 22mm diameter shock absorbers, CNC-machined alloy front/rear shock towers and high quality alloy control arms. The extra-large shocks feature thick springs, 6mm extra-thick shafts, anodized blue alloy caps, natural aluminum bodies, and conical pistons for soft bound and quick rebound. Spring pre-load is adjustable via clip-on spacers for ultimate precision and customization. Extra long travel, optimized oils, and conical pistons increase stability over rough and variable terrain. These shock absorbers are bigger than anything you’ll see on our competitor’s models!
Maximum Power Transfer Full-Metal Chassis
Our “Maximum Power Transfer” chassis system can take the most abuse of any chassis/suspension system out there. With a 4mm 6061-T6 aircraft-quality aluminum blue-anodized lightweight base plate, the internal components stay protected even from the worst terrain and most hostile conditions while maintaining a great power-to-weight ratio. Impacts are entirely transferred from the suspension system to the full-metal base plate and shock towers through thick front/rear suspension arms and shock absorbers. With tapered base plate edges for rigidity and CNC high-stress alloy front/rear chassis-brace system, collisions and impacts won’t bend the chassis and add stiffness for performance. The TB1 was meant for bouncing off boulders and running into anything!
High Quality Alloy Metal Components
Unlike our competitor’s vehicles, over 75% of the TB1 is made from high quality alloy and aluminum. For areas where durability is paramount, especially in the drivetrain and suspension/steering systems, only the best quality metal parts are used. The TB1 features an all-steel drivetrain (gears, differentials, clutch, differential casing, disc plates, axles, mounts), 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum base plate and suspension mounts, alloy chassis braces, alloy suspension system (control arms, shock towers, front plate, mounts, shock absorbers, hingepins), alloy steering system (steering knuckles, bellcrank, turnbuckles/tie-rods, steering linkage, rack bar) and high-quality metal hardware (nuts, bolts, screws). Compare this to any competitor, and you won’t see this kind of quality and durability!
| Full-Metal Hardened Transmission System |
| |
|
 |
For maximum power transfer with incredible durability and construction quality, nothing beats the TB1’s all steel transmission system. From the clutch all the way to the wheels, all components are made of industry leading high quality hardened steel. Features include three sealed viscous planetary differentials with spider gears and steel helical cut rings and pinions, extra-thick universal slider driveshafts, and 8.4:1 gear ratio. Sealed silicone oil differentials will make a huge difference over our competitors, increasing handling performance more than anything else besides tires. |

| High Quality Electronics and Radio System |
| |
|
Only the best servos and radio units go into our vehicles. Preinstalled electronics are of the highest quality and durability, with tightly sealed housing for reliability and protection. A long-range FM 27 MHz radio system allows for lightning-quick precision control with low power consumption and great interference-resistance for the most convenience possible.

Two full-metal gear 15kg-cm throttle/brake and steering servos offer super fast response and added durability over regular plastic gear servos. These high-torque servos really make a difference over our competitors’, with precision-manufactured inner metal gears for super long life and extra torque. Easy to use trim settings allow you to custom tune your vehicles throttle and steering without having to take it apart and modify internals |

Extra Durable Steering System w/ Steering Correction
Steering over unknown terrain can be challenging and frustrating with the wrong equipment. But like the rest of the TB1, the steering system is top notch, featuring only the highest quality metal and most durable designs. Highlights include 8mm thick true-reverse thread turnbuckles for on-the-fly toe-in adjustment, CNC-machined alloy steering knuckles, all metal steering linkages and rack bar, beefed up bellcrank control system, and adjustable servo. Toe-in, caster, and camber adjustment is available. Most components are thicker than you will even find in aftermarket components! With less flex for better performance, there isn’t a better steering system out there.
| Super Large Wheels and Multi-purpose Tiger Grip Tires |
| |
|
| Featuring 172mm (6.77 in) diameter, 80mm (3.15 in) wide wheels and our special Tiger Grid tires, the TB1 is an off-road beast! Made for the harshest, wettest, muddiest, dirtiest terrain, the special 510mm tread tires and huge 520mm wheelbase get it done. The Pre-glued tires feature foam inserts for maximum durability and handling, as well as performance-engineered all-purpose ribbed Tiger Grip treads. Combine these insane wheels with the 4WD system and this vehicle is unbeatable on off-road tracks. |
 |
| The TB1 performs in anything from sand, to dirt, to even snow! The extra large wheels make this possible; their construction is of high-quality impact-molded plastic with 12-spoke internal support and flat-panel outer layer for the roughest impacts. |
