The Defender silhouette is a favourite among scale hobbyists for its rugged appeal. This special edition from Tamiya arrives with a light blue pre-finished body and modern CC-02 engineering, offering both collectors and active drivers a faithful and usable scale truck.
The CC-02 ladder frame chassis is aimed at practical off-road use. A rearward longitudinal motor position sits ahead of the gearbox and transfer case layout, with prop shafts transferring power to the front and rear diffs. The four-link rigid suspension and CVA oil dampers provide predictable articulation on uneven tracks.
Hobbyists can tailor performance with a range of Hop-Up Options for the CC-02. The adjustable gear ratio makes it straightforward to change the balance between torque and speed depending on whether you spend more time slow crawling or quick trail hopping.
The pre-painted polycarbonate shell reproduces Defender lines while separately moulded grille, mirror and light parts enhance realism. Black ABS resin wheels and semi-pneumatic all-terrain tyres deliver a convincing look while retaining useful grip across mixed surfaces.
Whether used as a display model or a dedicated trail truck, the Tamiya Land Rover Defender 90 47478-60A delivers scale authenticity and a chassis ready for local off-road lanes and tracks.
