The Tamiya 58459 1/10 RC Datsun 240Z Rally Version puts classic rally pedigree into a buildable model ready for rough running. Based on the car that tackled the East African Safari stages in the early 70s, including the 1971 Safari Rally driven by Herrman and Schuller, this kit celebrates that era of demanding rally competition.
The DF-03Ra chassis is suited to loose gravel and mixed terrain thanks to its 4WD system and robust construction. This 1/10 scale assembly kit features a faithful polycarbonate body and a Type 540 motor for steady performance. A range of Tamiya option parts can be fitted to tune handling or increase punch on straights.
Detailed components include separately moulded resin light cases and bumper sections that add realism. The body accepts the Tamiya LED Light Unit TLU-01 (sold separately) so you can fit working spotlights on the hood. The car rides on black offset +2 wheels with Rally Block Tires that suit off-road surfaces and give the proper rally look.
Whether you want a display piece or a capable trail car, the Tamiya 58459 gives a rewarding build and practical running potential. The included TEU-104BK ESC provides a reliable electronics base, leaving radio, battery and charger as the main additions to get on track.
The Tamiya 58459 Datsun 240Z Rally Version combines authentic styling with a tuneable 4WD platform, making it a solid pick for hobbyists who enjoy off-road action and upgrades.
