Classic Race Truck Styling from Tamiya 58161

Experienced modellers recognise Tamiya for well-engineered kits. The Tamiya 58161 - Ford F-150 Race Truck Kit combines realistic race truck lines with a manageable assembly that results in dependable 4WD performance on mixed circuits.

Stability and Handling

The 1/10 Ford F-150 is constructed on a TA01/TA02 mixed chassis that gives a steady base for tuning. The shaft-driven 4WD layout helps distribute power evenly, while fully independent double wishbone suspension and oil-filled dampers deliver controlled movement across bumps and corners.

Detail Work and Livery Choices

Included is a clear polycarbonate body that invites personalised paint jobs and decal schemes. The kit tyre and damper choices provide solid starting points for racers who want to adjust grip and absorption for different tracks.

How It Measures Up to Other Kits

Although it shares a family resemblance with the Toyota Prerunner and Chevy S-10, the Ford F-150 offers a unique driving feel thanks to its body proportions and chassis balance, making it appealing for both display and competition.
