The Tamiya 57828 - 1/10 RC XB RTR Fast Attack Vehicle (2011) revives a military-inspired icon with thoughtful updates for current hobbyists. Offered as a ready-to-run kit, it removes the barriers to entry so you can drive straight from the box.
This reissue keeps the original aesthetic while using a robust resin body mounted on an ABS bathtub chassis with a roll cage for rigidity. A crew figure and M60 machine gun are included to enhance realism for display and diorama use.
The front semi-pneumatic grooved tyres and block-pattern rear tyres give balanced grip across mixed surfaces. Independent suspension at all four corners, with coil springs and trailing arms, helps the vehicle track smoothly and absorb small bumps. The enclosed gearbox shields the drivetrain from muck and grit.
It comes fitted with a Finespec 2.4GHz radio system for dependable control. The Johnson/Mabuchi 540-J brushed motor provides straightforward, maintainable power, while the TEU-105BK ESC with BEC offers tidy speed control for both relaxed running and spirited driving.
This model is well suited to collectors who like accurate military styling as well as club hobbyists who want an RTR vehicle that can be run and customised over time.
