Vintage off-roader upgraded for modern rigs

The Tamiya XR311, dating back to 1977, established a memorable profile in the early off-road RC scene. This reissue honours that legacy with faithful styling and practical updates so the model works well with contemporary batteries and control systems.

Functional upgrades without losing character

Tamiya has retained the XR311's classic form while updating the underpinnings for current use. The chassis accepts a standard 7.2V battery pack and is compatible with an electronic speed controller, and a steel torsion bar replaces the older plastic unit to increase toughness for everyday use.

Authentic bodywork and painting options

The injection-moulded body captures clear panel lines and the military-inspired silhouette. It is well suited to period paint jobs and detailing, letting modellers create authentic or personalised finishes with ease.

Thank you for your excellent customer service, my items were packaged very well and arrived in Australia in perfect condition. Communication was excellent from order to delivery. I will happily purchase from RC JAZ again!

How difficult is the paintwork to do well?

Painting the XR311 is manageable with masking and thin coats of polycarbonate paint. Using reference photos helps when recreating authentic camouflage and markings.

Does the kit include an ESC or do I need to buy one?

The chassis supports an electronic speed controller but the ESC is not supplied with the kit. Choose an ESC that matches motor type and expected current draw.

What maintenance should I expect after running?

After running, check suspension linkages, clean dirt from the chassis and inspect the steel torsion bar and hardware for wear. Regular checks prolong parts life and performance.

Is this a good display model as well as a runner?

Yes. The XR311's authentic bodywork and period details make it well suited to display, while its modernised chassis gives it real running capability when fitted with electronics.

Can tyres be swapped for different terrain?

Swapping tyres is a common way to tune traction. Ensure replacement tyres fit the rims and clearance, and adjust gearing if necessary to maintain performance.
