Kumamon Tractor Kit from Tamiya in 1/10 Scale

Enjoy a quirky RC project with the Tamiya 58601 - 1/10 RC Kumamon Tractor, where whimsical character art meets practical kit design. The tractor features a painted Kumamon driver and a compact polycarbonate body that looks great on a shelf and performs well when driven.

Chassis Layout and Handling Traits

The WR-02G chassis provides a straightforward 2WD drivetrain suited to varied surfaces. With fully independent double wishbone suspension and a monocoque frame, the setup keeps the rear-driven power transfer stable through a geared differential. The positioning of the traction battery and the included wheelie bar encourages playful wheelstand moves.

Detailing, Decals and Personalisation

Decorated with bright Kumamoto-themed decals, the body includes artwork showing local produce motifs. The pre-painted Kumamon figure adds charm, and the polycarbonate shell accepts custom paints and additional trim for builders who like to tweak aesthetics.

Tamiya 58601 offers a lighthearted build that still respects hobby-grade engineering. The WR-02G chassis makes it a useful runner across lawns and light trails, while its distinct look appeals to modellers after something different.

Assembly time varies, but most hobbyists complete the kit over a few evenings depending on experience and painting time.
Yes, the painted figure can be removed carefully for repainting or touch-ups; use gentle techniques to avoid stressing small parts.
The chevron tread gives decent traction on dry grass and compact surfaces, but wet or muddy conditions will reduce grip and may require tyre changes for better performance.
Yes. Builders often fit a higher performance 540-class motor and a suitable ESC to increase acceleration, making sure the gearbox and mountings remain compatible.
