Tamiya 58700 1/10 Land Rover Defender 90 CC-02 4WD Kit Scale Replica  [58700]

Scale Defender 90 Mounted on the CC-02 Chassis

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.

Design Strength of the CC-02

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.

Kit Build and Running Characteristics

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.

Personalising Your Defender

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.
