Overview and Heritage of the Tamiya 58511 Nissan Titan

The Tamiya 58511 Nissan Titan recreates a CORR-style off-road truck in 1/12 scale, mounted on the reliable DT-02 chassis. It combines period race styling with a build that remains accessible to model makers and RC fans.

What the DT-02 Provides

The DT-02 chassis is known for its durability and ease of servicing. With a simple 2WD drivetrain and independent suspension, the platform gives consistent handling, and oil-filled dampers with improved damper stays increase travel for tougher terrain.

Bodywork and Protection

The polycarbonate body offers accurate lines while keeping weight low for nimble handling. The fully enclosed gearbox reduces exposure to dust and debris, helping to protect gears and bearings during off-road use.

Included Components and Notes

The kit includes a Type 540 motor and bonus hardware such as eight 1150 ball bearings to improve drivetrain efficiency. An electronic speed controller is not included. The dual block tyres deliver dependable traction on a variety of off-road surfaces.

Will the Tamiya 58511 handle wet conditions?

Light wet use is manageable thanks to the enclosed gearbox, but prolonged exposure to water and mud will still require post-run cleaning and drying to prevent corrosion.

Are the supplied bearings sealed?

The kit includes eight 1150 ball bearings to reduce friction in the drivetrain; check individual parts for sealing and consider sealed bearings if you plan frequent wet runs.

What tyre setup suits hard-packed tracks?

For hard-packed surfaces, consider lower-profile block tyres or tyre inserts that reduce squirm; gearing adjustments can also help maintain usable power delivery.

Is painting the polycarbonate body difficult?

Polycarbonate paints adhere well when applied in thin coats and with proper masking. Trim and test-fit first, then use light layers to avoid paint runs and to keep the body light.
