Tamiya 58496 - 1/10 Fast Attack Vehicle Scale Off-Road Kit  [58496]

Heritage Reissue: Tamiya 58496 Fast Attack Vehicle

Launched originally in 1984 and reissued for modern hobbyists, this Fast Attack Vehicle preserves the original military styling while offering a reliable platform for both display and spirited driving.

Scale Realism and Detailing

The model features a finely styled resin body with an integrated roll cage to protect the shell. Included are a driver figure and a scale M60 machine gun, making it a pleasing subject for display collectors and scale builders.

Reliable Off-Road Capability

Front semi-pneumatic grooved tyres and rear block-pattern tyres combine to give confidence on a range of surfaces. The suspension setup assists in maintaining composure over bumps and loose ground.

Durable Layout for Regular Use

A robust ABS resin bathtub chassis supports the resin body and the fully enclosed gearbox reduces the ingress of dirt and grit, which helps with long-term reliability during regular runs.

Powertrain and Handling

Fitted with a Johnson/Mabuchi 540-J brushed motor and an included ESC, the vehicle offers predictable power delivery and straightforward tuning, suitable for a wide range of driving styles.

The Tamiya Fast Attack Vehicle 58496 is a faithful reissue that balances scale authenticity with a durable, user-friendly chassis, appealing to both collectors and hands-on RC enthusiasts.
