The Tamiya 58621 Suzuki Jimny JB23 recreates a compact off-road icon in 1/10 scale, mounted on the versatile MF-01X platform. Drawing on the Jimny family history from the 1970s, this scale captures the spirit of the 1998 third generation, which featured a turbocharged 658cc engine and became well regarded for its compact performance.
The MF-01X chassis uses a three-section design so you can alter wheelbase length between short (210mm) and long (239mm) by changing the center spacer. The powertrain places the motor at the rear and transfers drive to the front via a prop shaft. Built-in gearboxes in the monocoque assembly help keep parts aligned and simplify the build for newcomers and seasoned modders.
The body is moulded from polycarbonate and arrives pre-painted in metallic blue for a clean finish without painting. Separate door mirror parts add scale realism, and the kit comes with rally block tyres plus a torque-tuned motor, so once you fit electronics the car is set up for light off-road work and club runs.
For builders who value scale detail and a tunable platform, the Tamiya 58621 Suzuki Jimny JB23 on MF-01X is a practical choice that rewards setup work and upgrades.
