Tamiya 58496 - Off-Road Fast Attack Vehicle 1/10 Kit (Reissue)  [58496]

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.

Tamiya 58496 is a solid reissue for modellers who want authentic military looks paired with a driveable platform ready for outdoor use and straightforward upgrades.
