Scale Mining Truck Build: Tamiya 58268 Mammoth Dump Truck

For builders focused on accurate industrial replicas, the Tamiya 58268 - 1/20 RC Mammoth Dump Truck provides a convincing mining truck appearance paired with functional mechanics. The kit balances detail with practical operation.

Separate Drive and Dump Motors

The model features a shaft-driven 4WD arrangement powered by two motors. A main 540-size motor propels the wheels while a dedicated motor with a worm gear shaft manages the dump bed. This allows smooth driving and controlled dumping actions.

Two-channel Control for Essential Functions

Functions are controlled by a two-channel radio setup that covers driving and the dump mechanism, avoiding extra complexity. The bed accepts up to 8.8 lbs (4 kg) of material for realistic load demonstrations.

Durable Platform with Realistic Suspension

Using the Juggernaut 2 Monster Truck chassis as its base, the model benefits from proven durability. Die-cast gears are kept in sealed gearboxes for protection, and the coil and leaf spring suspension helps stability over bumps. The cab and dump body are moulded in shock-resistant plastic to withstand use.

The Tamiya 58268 Mammoth Dump Truck is an attractive option for collectors and builders who prioritise scale authenticity and functioning mechanics in their RC projects.

The kit is set up for a 7.2V flat stick pack battery; confirm voltage and connector compatibility with any aftermarket battery.
Assembly time varies by experience, but expect several evenings for careful construction and detailing.
The focus is scale realism and functionality rather than racing performance, so it is not aimed at competition circuits.
Verify gear lubrication, secure battery mounting, check radio setup and test dump motor action at low throttle before full use.
