The Tamiya 58700 captures the three-door Land Rover Defender 90 in 1/10 scale, combining traditional styling with hobby-grade construction. This model reproduces the short 93-inch wheelbase profile and places it on the robust CC-02 chassis for realistic trail behaviour.
The CC-02 platform is engineered to tackle a wide range of off-road conditions, from gravel tracks to wet paddocks. Its ladder-type frame mirrors full-scale vehicle structure for resilience. A longitudinally mounted motor sits rear of the front axle, linked to a separate gearbox and transfer case, which distribute drive through propeller shafts to front and rear differentials. The four-link rigid axle setup with CVA oil dampers adds controlled articulation for negotiating obstacles.
This assembly kit includes a polycarbonate body for realistic contours and durability, black ABS resin wheels and semi-pneumatic all-terrain rubber tyres for good traction. The design supports LED installation so you can add working headlights and tail lamps for night driving or scale display.
There is a wide selection of Tamiya Hop-Up Option Parts to customise handling, protection and appearance on the CC-02. Builders can choose cosmetic touches or performance parts to suit casual trail runs or more demanding rock garden sessions.
As a buildable scale model, the Tamiya 58700 Land Rover Defender 90 suits hobbyists who enjoy accurate detailing and upgrade potential. The CC-02 layout gives dependable performance across varied surfaces.
