Scale Accuracy with Practical Engineering

The Tamiya 58222 Ford SVT F-150 Lightning TL-01 faithfully reproduces the distinctive profile of the SVT Lightning while offering a chassis that figures well for both display and running. The kit brings together scale detail and a setup that is easy to maintain.

Engineered TL-01 Chassis Features

The TL-01 chassis is engineered for steady performance and durability. A shaft-driven full-time 4WD system provides balanced traction and the sealed differential units protect internal gears. The monocoque construction keeps the centre of gravity low for predictable handling.

Steady Handling from Double Wishbones

Independent double wishbone suspension combined with friction dampers yields a composed ride and accurate steering response. The arrangement works well on smooth road surfaces and allows incremental setup changes to refine cornering behavior.

Authentic Finish and Modding Potential

The clear polycarbonate body is ready for detailed painting, and the rubber radial tyres with 10-spoke wheels recreate the truck look precisely. Owners can adjust clearance and gearing to favour quicker acceleration or a higher top speed depending on preference.

The Tamiya 58222 Ford SVT F-150 Lightning TL-01 is well suited to modders and collectors who want an authentic looking truck with a straightforward platform for upgrades and maintenance.

Assembly time varies with experience, but many hobbyists complete the build over a few evenings while taking care with paint and trimming.
The included radial rubber tyres work well on many smooth club surfaces, though you can fit different compounds for improved grip at events.
Regularly inspect screws, drivetrain play and wheel condition, and re-lubricate gearbox parts after extended running to maintain smooth operation.
Aftermarket dampers and stiffer parts are available for TL-01 based builds if you want finer control over handling characteristics.
