Getting to Know the Tamiya 58511 Nissan Titan

The Tamiya 58511 Nissan Titan is a 1/12 scale interpretation of the race truck, assembled on the dependable DT-02 chassis. It captures the spirit of the 2006 CORR entry while keeping construction friendly for hobby builders.

Why the DT-02 Works Well

The DT-02 chassis is recognised for its straightforward layout and lasting components. With a 2WD drivetrain and independent suspension, the truck offers predictable handling, and oil-filled dampers plus revised damper mounts give smoother, longer travel over bumps.

Body and Protection Details

The polycarbonate shell reproduces the Titan shape and keeps weight low for nimble handling. The enclosed gearbox shields gears and bearings from dust and stones, which reduces wear during off-road running.

Powertrain and Included Parts

This kit includes a Type 540 motor and an array of bonus parts, including eight 1150 ball bearings to improve drivetrain life. Keep in mind the electronic speed controller is not supplied. Block-pattern tyres give dependable grip on loose surfaces.

Tamiya 58511 suits modellers who want an authentic-looking off-road truck with reliable mechanicals. It is straightforward to service and offers a solid platform for modest upgrades.

Assembly time varies, but a careful builder can expect several evenings to complete the kit, depending on painting and electronics installation.
Pair the Type 540 with an appropriately rated ESC and a servo that fits the steering bellcrank; choose a battery that balances run time and weight for the DT-02 chassis.
Yes, the independent suspension and block tyres are suitable for grass and packed gravel, though very loose terrain may require tyre or gearing adjustments.
Common upgrades include upgraded electronics, metal steering links and tuned shocks if you want improved durability or handling precision.
Use clear protective film on high-wear areas and consider reinforcing inner mounts with lightweight tape or small washers to spread load points.
