The Tamiya 58700 translates the compact, three-door Land Rover Defender 90 into a detailed 1/10 scale kit that balances historic character with hobby-level engineering. The model reproduces the 93-inch wheelbase form and is mounted on the tough CC-02 chassis for realistic off-road capability.
The CC-02 was designed to cope with a broad range of off-road conditions, from stony tracks to wet fields. Its ladder frame gives structural resilience. A longitudinally mounted motor sits behind the front axle, coupled to a separate gearbox and transfer case, distributing drive through prop shafts to the front and rear differentials. Four-link rigid axles paired with CVA oil dampers deliver dependable articulation and traction control.
This kit includes a polycarbonate body for accurate lines and durability plus black ABS resin wheels with semi-pneumatic all-terrain rubber tyres to aid grip on diverse surfaces. The shell will take 5mm LEDs so you can install working lights for display and evening runs.
Tamiya Hop-Up Option Parts provide many routes for tuning handling, strengthening driveline parts or refining looks on the CC-02. The platform suits both newcomers wanting a solid starter kit and experienced modellers seeking a flexible base for upgrades.
The Tamiya 58700 Land Rover Defender 90 is ideal for hobbyists who value scale accuracy and the ability to personalise. The CC-02 chassis gives a solid foundation for a variety of off-road activities.
