Reissue Spotlight: Tamiya 58496 Fast Attack Vehicle

Debuting in 1984 and now reissued, this Fast Attack Vehicle keeps its rugged aesthetic while offering practical components for hobbyists who like to drive and display their models.

Scale Accuracy and Combat Look

The resin shell reproduces military styling with a sturdy roll cage bolted into the body. The seated soldier and M60 accessory give extra realism for those who enjoy scale scenes and model displays.

Designed for Outdoor Running

The tyre setup pairs semi-pneumatic grooved fronts with block-pattern rears to deliver traction across loose southern tracks, packed earth and beach runs. The chassis geometry helps maintain control at speed.

Robust Chassis Engineering

An ABS resin bathtub chassis underpins the model and the fully enclosed gearbox reduces ingress of dirt. Together these features extend service intervals and keep the car usable straight off the track.

Electrics and Usability

Equipped with a Johnson/Mabuchi 540-J brushed motor and a supplied ESC, the vehicle offers dependable power and predictable throttle feel suitable for a wide range of drivers.

Highly recommend seller. A great place to shop from any where in the world.
The kit tyres are versatile, but if you need more grip for loose sand or hard-packed clay, look for dedicated 1/10 off-road rear tyres and a matching front pattern to suit your typical surface.
Yes. The ABS bathtub chassis combined with the resin body and enclosed gearbox is built to tolerate regular off-road running, though heavy impacts will still require repairs like any hobby car.
A brushless swap is possible if you select a motor and ESC that fit the 540 mounting and account for gearing and battery voltage. Check physical clearances before buying parts.
It performs well on beaches, country tracks and park trails. Avoid extreme rock gardens and deep water that could harm electronics unless you install additional protection.
The resin shell accepts hobby paints well. Masking the roll cage and using thin coats will give the best finish; practice on spare plastic if you are new to painting scale bodies.
