Tamiya 58496 - 1/10 Military-Style Fast Attack Vehicle Kit  [58496]

Returning Icon: Tamiya 58496 Fast Attack Vehicle

Originally introduced in 1984, the Fast Attack Vehicle has been reissued to preserve its military-inspired look and dependable performance. The updated kit blends classic styling with practical features that suit both display collectors and active RC users.

Authentic Field Look

The resin body captures the silhouette of military buggies and includes a protective roll cage for scale realism and part protection. The included soldier figure and M60 replica enhance the kit for model builders focused on authenticity.

Capable Over Varied Terrain

The front semi-pneumatic grooved tyres and block-pattern rear tyres are chosen to give predictable traction on mixed surfaces. This layout performs well on dune runs, farm tracks and rural trails.

Engineered for Longevity

An ABS resin bathtub chassis supports the durable resin body to withstand active use. The sealed gearbox protects internal gears from dust and debris, helping maintain consistent running over time.

Drive System and Controls

The kit includes a Johnson/Mabuchi 540-J brushed motor and an electronic speed controller for smooth throttle response. This combination is familiar to many hobbyists and offers straightforward maintenance.

Tamiya 58496 offers a faithful recreation of a classic military buggy with a robust chassis and familiar electronics, making it a strong option for both display and active off-road use.
