Kumamon Tractor 1/10 Kit by Tamiya

The Tamiya 58601 - 1/10 RC Kumamon Tractor is a whimsical assembly kit that combines a character-driven aesthetic with reliable Tamiya mechanics. The tractor sports a painted Kumamon driver seated in a charming polycarbonate body that works well for both display and active running.

Mechanical Layout and On-Track Behaviour

Underneath, the WR-02G chassis provides a tried-and-true 2WD arrangement. The independent double wishbone suspension and monocoque frame keep the package robust, while the 540-brushed motor in central position transmits power through the gearbox to the rear wheels. The battery position and fitted wheelie bar enable entertaining wheelstand performance.

Visual Details and Customisation Possibilities

The body is supplied with vivid Kumamoto-themed stickers, featuring illustrations such as tomatoes and watermelon. The included painted Kumamon figure, complete with a straw hat, lends character and can be modified by modellers seeking a bespoke finish.

Tamiya 58601 offers a pleasant mix of novelty styling and straightforward mechanics. It is well suited to hobbyists who want a distinctive display piece that is also capable of being driven on a variety of surfaces.

Yes. The kit does not include an ESC or radio gear, so you will need a compatible 2-channel transmitter, receiver and an ESC suited to a 540 motor.
Absolutely. The stylised bodywork and decorated decals make it a charming piece for a shelf or display, especially for collectors of character-themed RCs.
Routine checks include gearbox lubrication, ensuring drive dog bones and bushings are free of wear, and keeping the body clips and mounting points secure after running.
Some modders replace plastic dampers or bushings with aftermarket parts for improved performance, but verify compatibility with the WR-02G layout before purchasing upgrades.
