Heavy Hitters: Tamiya 58280 TXT-1 Monster Truck Kit

The Tamiya 58280 - 1/8 TXT-1 Extreme Truck Kit is built for heavy-duty bashing and large-scale off-road action. Its aluminium ladder frame and multi-link suspension deliver a tough platform for demanding use on rough tracks.

Suspension and Axle Design Overview

The TXT-1 uses solid axles with a cantilever system to maximise articulation and ground clearance. The kit supports four-wheel steering hardware and requires a compatible 2 or 3 channel radio to run steering and throttle functions smoothly.

Performance from Twin 540 Motors

Twin 540 motors mounted in parallel send power via the prop shaft to front and rear axles, providing strong traction and forward momentum for climbing and rough-field driving. The shaft drive 4WD layout promotes even power delivery under load.

Built Components and Maintenance Notes

Key parts like aluminium side frames and reinforced suspension arms are designed for durability and serviceability. The 2-level gearbox helps control output torque, while the 4-link rigid wheel mount with push rods and locking arms maintains stability during heavy use. Large tyres and cantilever shocks combine to absorb impacts on uneven ground.

you are great the product is well fancy
Basic hobby tools like hex drivers, pliers and thread lock are sufficient; a pinion gear press and spanner set make some steps easier.
Regular checks of drive shafts, gear mesh and shock oil will keep the TXT-1 performing; clean and inspect after muddy or sandy sessions.
The kit includes tyres that need mounting and balancing on the supplied wheels; using foam inserts helps protect rims and improves handling.
Yes, the heavy frame and robust suspension cope well with rocky terrain and compact sand, but rinse and service components after salty beach runs.
