Tamiya 58161 - Ford F-150, A Proper Scale Racing Truck

Tamiya's reputation in the hobby is built on solid kits and smart engineering. The Tamiya 58161 - Ford F-150 Race Truck Kit captures race truck proportions and gives modellers a shaft-driven 4WD platform that handles like a full-size vehicle in miniature.

Chassis and Drive Details

The 1/10 Ford F-150 sits on a TA01/TA02 style mixed chassis that balances stiffness and serviceability. Its shaft-driven 4WD system delivers predictable traction, while the independent double wishbone suspension and oil-filled dampers help keep the truck composed on rough stages.

Paint, Fit and Setup Options

The clear polycarbonate body in the kit is ideal for creative paint schemes and decal work, letting you personalise the truck. Block-pattern rubber tyres and plastic oil-filled shocks come standard and offer a solid baseline for tuning to different surfaces.

How It Fits Among Other Tamiya Kits

This Ford F-150 shares construction traits with the Toyota Prerunner and Chevy S-10, but its cab shape and weight distribution give it a different feel on the move, appealing to drivers who like authentic race truck handling.

The Tamiya 58161 Ford F-150 Race Truck Kit suits builders who enjoy a mix of scale detail and adjustable performance, making it a practical choice for club runs and backyard circuits.
