Compact Off-Road Favourite: Tamiya 57890 XB

The Tamiya 57890 XB Heavy Dump Truck offers a small-scale but robust driving package for outdoor play and light trail work. Built on the GF-01 chassis, the 1/24 scale model delivers reliable 4WD traction and a torque-tuned 540-brushed motor that favours controlled crawling over speed runs.

Chassis Features at a Glance

The GF-01 is engineered for rugged use with a sealed gearbox and gear differentials at both ends to split drive evenly. Its fully independent double wishbone suspension pairs with friction dampers to smooth small impacts, while the bell-crank steering keeps the layout simple and easy to service in the field.

Scale Looks and Functional Details

The injection-moulded resin body has a separate cab and rear bed for authentic scale presence, and the bed adjusts between flat and raised settings using the supplied stays and snap pins. The bright yellow moulding and deep rim wheels provide a distinctive aesthetic, and pre-installed Finespec 2.4GHz radio along with the TEU-105BK ESC mean minimal setup before heading out.

For hobbyists after a compact scale truck that can be driven straight away, the Tamiya 57890 XB is a solid choice. Its rugged GF-01 underpinnings and simple electronics make it easy to enjoy and upgrade over time.

Its torque-tuned motor and independent suspension suit low-speed crawling on modest rock sections and hardpack trails. For extreme crawling consider gearing or motor upgrades.
Common upgrades include stronger metal dog bones, improved bearings, and higher-spec servos for crisper steering response. These changes raise durability and handling.
Use the supplied stays and snap pins to lock the bed flat for carrying or raise it for dump-style display. Ensure pins are seated to avoid rattling during runs.
The standard kit does not include LED lights or buckets. There is space to fit small aftermarket lights with some modification to the body shell and wiring routes.
