Tamiya 58004 - 1/12 Scale RC FMC XR311 Off-Road Model Kit - Off-Road Favourite  [58004]

Classic military buggy with practical updates

The XR311 made its mark in 1977 and remains a beloved design among off-road RC fans. Tamiya has updated the kit to keep the original character while making the model easier to run with contemporary components. The result is a collectible model that is also ready for real-world RC use.

Practical modernisation for everyday use

The refreshed chassis accepts a standard 7.2V battery pack and is set up to work with an electronic speed controller, making modern powertrains straightforward to install. Replacing the old plastic torsion element with a steel torsion bar improves reliability when tackling rough tracks while retaining the XR311's handling traits.

True-to-form body and custom finishing

The carefully moulded plastic body recreates the XR311's utilitarian lines and panel detail. Builders can apply period-accurate camouflage or personal finishes to add character, while keeping the authentic silhouette on display.

For those who value authentic design and sensible modern upgrades, the XR311 provides both. It is at home on a display shelf and ready for light off-road running after fitting electronics.
