Tamiya 58603 Amarok Custom Lift Scale RC Pickup 1/10 Kit  [58603]

Overview of the Tamiya 58603 Amarok Custom Lift

The Tamiya 58603 Volkswagen Amarok Custom Lift transfers the look of the real pickup to a 1/10 scale assembly kit, mounted on the narrow WT-01N chassis. The model captures the Amaroks adaptable nature for both street and trail scenarios and references its role at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic Games.

Chassis and Drive Characteristics

The WT-01N chassis is aimed at balanced handling and user tuning. With a 2WD drivetrain and dog bone driveshafts, it offers straightforward mechanics. Fully independent double wishbone suspension plus friction dampers help smooth out rough tracks while the block-pattern rubber tyres maintain traction off-road.

Scale Styling and Key Dimensions

The polycarbonate body keeps the vehicle light while retaining realistic panels and lines. Important measures are 463mm in length, 251mm in width, and a 281mm wheelbase on the updated narrow WT-01 chassis. Adjustable gear settings and ground clearance allow setup changes to suit different terrain.

Practical Appeal for Model Builders

This kit is a solid option for builders who want an authentic looking model with a serviceable chassis. It works well for newcomers stepping up to more involved builds and for experienced racers wanting a realistic basher.

The Tamiya 58603 Volkswagen Amarok Custom Lift is a realistic kit that pairs authentic styling with a flexible chassis, suitable for model builders focused on trail and street running.
