Tamiya 58326 1/10 R/C JGSDF Light Armoured Vehicle Collector Kit  [58326]

Scale accurate JGSDF armoured vehicle replica for enthusiasts

The Tamiya 58326 1/10 R/C JGSDF Light Armored Vehicle recreates the vehicle's compact, functional profile while delivering dependable performance in the field. The pre-painted polycarbonate body and shaft-driven 4WD chassis provide a faithful model suitable for display and active running.

Design purpose and real world capability

The full-size vehicle was designed to move troops rapidly with protection, powered by a 160hp diesel engine and able to reach around 100km/h while carrying four people. Its low weight makes air transport feasible and suited it to rapid response tasks. The R/C kit emphasises the same practical form and detailing.

Mobility systems and on-track behaviour

With independent double wishbone suspension, oil-filled dampers and block tyres, the model copes well with uneven surfaces. Shaft-driven 4WD and bevel gear differentials aid traction and predictable handling for scale-style driving across grass, dirt and gravel.

Components and suitability for modding

The chassis is configured for a Type 540 motor and includes front and rear gear diffs to smooth corner transitions. The solid tub-style platform makes installing upgraded servos, ESCs or battery packs straightforward for those who want enhanced control or longer runtimes.

This kit suits collectors and active modellers alike, offering accurate styling and a robust platform for sensible upgrades and long term running.
