The Tamiya 58416-60A Rising Fighter revives the fighter-series look in a 1/10 scale chassis built for outdoor use. Its 418mm length, 236mm width and 187mm height make it compact enough for tight tracks yet stable at speed.
Independent front swing axles and a rolling rigid rear setup give the Rising Fighter the ability to tackle mixed surfaces. Large friction dampers reduce rebound and help maintain tyre contact, while the bevel differential smooths power delivery under load.
The semi-monocoque construction reinforces the frame and simplifies access for maintenance. The fully enclosed gearbox is designed to keep grit out so drivetrain components last longer between services.
Factory-fitted grooved front tyres and rear spikes provide traction on loose dirt. The kit includes a 540 motor but does not include an ESC, giving you freedom to select electronics that match your driving style. A 7.2V battery, charger and a 2-channel radio are required to complete the build.
Solid and straightforward, the Rising Fighter is a great base for off-road play or modest competition. Its simple layout makes electronic upgrades and setup tweaks easy to perform.
