The Tamiya 57059 - 1/10 Ford F-350 High-Lift R/C Kit recreates the lifted pickup silhouette and mechanical layout in 1/10 scale. The ladder-frame construction and 3-speed transmission give the model a convincing blend of appearance and drivetrain function.
The injection-moulded body is matched with large wheels to reflect the High-Lift look. Metal parts such as the ladder frame, leaf springs and friction dampers increase durability while metal-plated roll bar, bumpers and grille deliver convincing scale highlights.
The 4WD shaft drive works with a newly designed 3-speed transmission that allows gear changes under motion. A slipper clutch protects the gearing under heavy loads, and the propeller shafts use universal joints to ensure consistent power transfer through suspension travel.
The kit's leaf spring suspension and friction dampers are adjustable to tailor handling to different surfaces. Swapping damper grease and O-rings alters the damping response, and the selectable 4-wheel steering aids manoeuvrability in confined areas.
An optional Multi-Function Unit can be fitted to simulate engine and horn sounds and to run LED headlights and tail lights, adding both audio and visual authenticity to the model.
This Ford F-350 High-Lift kit is aimed at hobbyists who appreciate detailed assembly and a capable off-road chassis, with room for setup adjustments and upgrades.
