The Vanquish name is familiar to long-time RC fans. Tamiya's 58686-60A VQS Vanquish brings that heritage back into a contemporary 1/10 package. The reissue keeps the character of the original while adding components that improve everyday use and longevity.
This version includes a factory painted and pre-cut polycarbonate body, cutting prep time and delivering a clean finish so you can hit the track sooner. The bathtub chassis remains, offering a reliable base for different driving surfaces.
Key updates like aluminium front uprights and universal drive shafts increase rigidity and reduce flex under load. These changes, influenced by later Avante platforms, help the VQS maintain sharper handling through corners.
The model uses a 540-size brushed motor for familiar performance and tuning options. Planetary gear differentials provide smooth torque transfer to the wheels. Keep in mind the kit does not include an ESC, so choose a unit compatible with brushed motors to complete your setup.
This VQS reissue is suited to modellers who value authenticity but want the convenience of modern components. It works well as a display piece or a tuned runner with the right electronics.
