Blackfoot III Heritage and Practicality

The Tamiya 58498 Blackfoot III revives an iconic silhouette in a 1/10 2WD configuration that respects the model line's roots. As the fifth entry, it merges nostalgic styling with easier access to key components for routine work.

Durable Styling and User-Friendly Chassis

Metal-plated trim enhances the visual appeal while the reinforced polycarbonate monocoque chassis simplifies servicing. The pre-assembled gearbox helps reduce assembly complexity for those new to RC kits.

Stable Handling Across Surfaces

The four-wheel double wishbone suspension provides measured control and the large 130mm tyres help the truck navigate uneven ground. The Type 540 motor included gives a balance of torque and reliability for general off-road use.

Scale Detail and Modular Electronics

The robust resin body includes a driver figure for added scale realism. With the electronic speed controller not supplied, builders can install an ESC and battery combination tailored to their driving preferences.

A solid choice for model builders who appreciate period-correct styling combined with a straightforward platform that can be upgraded over time.

It suits intermediate builders but is also accessible to beginners thanks to the pre-assembled gearbox and clear assembly steps.
Common hop-up parts and replacement components are available from hobby retailers, allowing upgrades to suspension, tyres and driveline items.
It can cope with damp and muddy surfaces, though routine cleaning and lubrication after wet runs will prolong component life.
The chassis can accept a suitably sized brushless motor and matching ESC with the correct mounting and gearing adjustments, but the kit ships with a Type 540 brushed motor.
