The Tamiya 58459 1/10 RC Datsun 240Z Rally Version recreates the tough character of vintage rallying for model builders who enjoy authentic detail. Inspired by the Datsun 240Z that tackled the East African stages in the early 1970s, including the famous 1971 Safari Rally with drivers Herrman and Schuller, this kit brings classic rally lore to your bench.
The DF-03Ra platform is built to take on gravel and packed dirt with its reliable 4WD drivetrain. As a 1/10 scale assembly kit it provides a solid mechanical base, while the polycarbonate body captures the car's original profile. A Type 540 motor is supplied to give dependable drive, and Tamiya option parts allow you to tune handling and power.
Detailing includes separately moulded resin light housings and bumper parts for an accurate look. The body will accept the Tamiya LED Light Unit TLU-01 (sold separately) so you can add functioning spotlights to the hood. The kit sits on black offset +2 wheels with Rally Block Tires for authentic looks and improved grip.
Whether you collect historic rally models or prefer to run at local off-road events, the Tamiya 58459 is a satisfying project. The included TEU-104BK ESC makes initial setup straightforward and gives a dependable electronic package to start with.
The Tamiya 58459 Datsun 240Z Rally Version blends period-correct styling with a tuneable 4WD chassis, making it a versatile choice for modders and display collectors alike.
