Tamiya 58280 TXT-1 1/8 Extreme Monster Truck Kit  [58280]

TXT-1 Tamiya 58280: Large-Scale Monster Truck Engineering

Built for big hits and wide-open terrain, the Tamiya 58280 - 1/8 TXT-1 Extreme Truck Kit combines rugged construction with suspension travel that suits serious trail and field use. The aluminium ladder chassis and multi-link setup improve rigidity while allowing generous wheel movement.

What Makes the TXT-1's Suspension Stand Out

The TXT-1 mirrors real monster truck articulation by using solid axle assemblies and a cantilever layout to boost suspension travel. It also supports four-wheel steering components and needs a 2 or 3 channel transmitter for full functionality.

How the Twin Motors Drive the Truck

Parallel twin 540 motors transmit torque through a propeller shaft to both axles, giving balanced drive across the platform. This arrangement helps the TXT-1 pull through rough tracks and steep inclines with reliable traction.

Robust Build for Heavy Use

Heavy-duty aluminium side frames and reinforced suspension arms offer a premium feel and extended life. The two-stage gearbox refines power delivery, while the 4-link rigid wheel mounts with push rods and locking arms preserve wheel alignment under load. Oversize tyres work with cantilever shocks to smooth rough ground.

Specifications

The Tamiya 58280 TXT-1 is aimed at enthusiasts who favour a durable platform with authentic monster truck handling and upgrade potential.
