Built for Trails and Tracks with Tamiya 58161

Tamiya has a long history in scale modelling, and the Tamiya 58161 - Ford F-150 Race Truck Kit continues that tradition. The kit combines a realistic race truck silhouette with a robust 4WD shaft drivetrain and parts that support on-track tuning.

Drive System and Suspension

This 1/10 Ford F-150 is mounted on a TA01/TA02 mixed chassis that provides a predictable platform for adjustments. The shaft-drive 4WD delivers even torque to each wheel, and the fully independent double wishbone suspension paired with oil-filled dampers keeps the truck composed over uneven ground.

Personalising the Bodywork

The clear polycarbonate body gives a great canvas for personalised paint schemes and decal layouts. Complementary components like block-pattern rubber tyres and plastic oil shocks are included to give good baseline traction and damping.

Similar Models and What Sets This One Apart

Like the Toyota Prerunner and Chevy S-10 from the same marque, this Ford F-150 emphasises rugged styling, but its cab and chassis mix produce a handling feel that many drivers prefer for race-style runs.

Whether you want a display piece or a tunable racer, the Tamiya 58161 Ford F-150 Race Truck Kit delivers a solid base for custom setups and dependable running on varied surfaces.

Yes, the chassis can accept brushless motors with compatible ESCs, but you should check space and cooling, and adjust gearing to protect the driveline.
The kit uses oil-filled plastic dampers that can be tuned by changing oil weight and spring preload to alter handling characteristics.
A basic 2-channel radio and compatible servo will control steering and throttle; choose a reliable transmitter for consistent control during races.
It is built for multi-purpose running and will handle casual bashing, though careful setup and protective driving will extend component life.
Apply several thin coats of polycarbonate paint and consider clear protection films or reinforcement around high-impact zones to reduce chipping.
