Blackfoot III Returns with Practical Upgrades

The Tamiya 58498 Blackfoot III updates the classic monster truck formula in a 1/10 2WD layout that keeps the original spirit intact. As the fifth model in the series, it focuses on durability and easy access for routine maintenance.

Sturdy Details and Accessible Layout

Chromed accent parts add a period touch while the reinforced polycarbonate monocoque frame allows quick access to the motor and gearbox. The pre-assembled gearbox streamlines assembly for newcomers and veterans alike.

Off-Road Ready Suspension and Tyres

Equipped with a four-wheel double wishbone suspension and large 130mm tyres, the Blackfoot III is prepared for rough tracks and mixed terrain. The supplied Type 540 motor gives straightforward power for everyday off-road driving.

Scale Realism with Tuning Options

The durable resin body includes a driver figure to enhance scale realism. Because the kit leaves out the electronic speed controller, owners can select an ESC and battery setup that match their performance goals.

Do I need special tools to assemble the kit?

Basic modelling tools and a small set of metric hex drivers are sufficient; a soldering iron may be needed if fitting custom electronics.

Is the motor brushless ready?

The kit includes a Type 540 brushed motor, but the gearbox and chassis can accept an appropriately sized brushless motor with correct mounting and ESC selection.

What maintenance should I plan for?

Regular checks of drive gears, suspension pins and tyre wear will keep performance consistent; clean and re-grease the gearbox as required.

Can I fit larger batteries for longer run time?

Battery size is limited by the chassis bay, so choose a pack that fits the tray while balancing weight and handling for best results.
