Compact Worksite Hauler - Tamiya 57890 XB

The Tamiya 57890 XB Heavy Dump Truck is a compact 1/24 scale hauler aimed at modellers who enjoy scale detail and trail driving. On the GF-01 chassis it blends robust construction with a torque-focused 540-brushed motor to handle textured ground and gentle climbs with confidence.

What the GF-01 Chassis Brings

The GF-01 chassis is prized for its adaptability, offering a sealed gearbox with gear differentials front and rear to keep traction balanced. Fully independent double wishbone suspension and friction dampers provide controlled articulation over roots and rocks, while the bell-crank steering and dog bone drives are easy to service after a day out.

Scale Details and On-Field Features

The injection-moulded resin body captures realistic shapes, including a separate cab and an adjustable rear bed. The bed swaps between flat and raised positions using the supplied stays and snap pins to mimic load dumping. Moulded parts in yellow and deep rim wheels give the model a striking look, and pre-installed Finespec 2.4GHz radio and the TEU-105BK ESC mean minimal setup before driving.

Tamiya 57890 offers a dependable, scale-minded driving experience ideal for club meets and casual trail runs. Its straightforward design encourages light customising and routine servicing.

The independent wishbone layout keeps tyre contact consistent, so the truck negotiates tight, technical sections steadily at low speed, especially with a torque-biased motor.
A 7.2V pack sized to the battery tray is standard. High-quality NiMH cells give predictable runtime. If using LiPo, confirm ESC compatibility and secure a suitable balance charger.
Yes, the adjustable bed allows simple load staging. It locks in flat or raised positions so you can simulate carrying or dumping small scale loads during photos or play.
After running, inspect the gearbox seal, clean grit from the suspension pivots, and check the snap pins on the bed. Light lubrication on moving parts prolongs life.
