The Tamiya 58498 Blackfoot III brings the iconic silhouette back in a 1/10 2WD format that honours the series history. As the fifth generation, it keeps the familiar look while improving access to the drivetrain and electronics.
Metal-plated accent parts give the model a period-correct finish, and the reinforced polycarbonate monocoque frame lets hobbyists reach the gearbox and motor without major disassembly. The pre-assembled gearbox eases the build for those new to kits.
With a four-wheel double wishbone suspension and 130mm diameter tyres, the Blackfoot III handles gravel, grass and dirt with stable tracking. The included Type 540 motor offers dependable power for typical off-road runs.
The sturdy resin body includes a driver figure for scale presence. Because the electronic speed controller is not included, builders can install an ESC tailored to their preferred driving response.
A sensible pick for modders and collectors who want the Blackfoot look with a chassis that is easy to maintain and upgrade.
