Introducing the Tamiya 58499 Montero Wheelie

The Tamiya 58499 - 1/10 RC Mitsubishi Montero Wheelie celebrates the early Montero design, often seen under the names Pajero or Shogun in rally history. Built on the CW-01 chassis, this kit blends sturdy construction with entertaining wheelie performance for hobbyists who enjoy both display and play.

Chassis Setup and Driving Character

Equipped with a 2WD CW-01 chassis similar in concept to the Lunch Box, the Montero uses a front swing axle and a rear rolling rigid suspension to handle uneven terrain while still allowing for spirited wheelies. Its enclosed gearbox is designed to help keep dirt out of the drivetrain.

Detailing and On-Track Ready Parts

The injection-molded body includes bed detailing, a spare tyre and a roll cage for authentic styling. The chunky 115mm tyres add presence and traction, and a wheelie bar is supplied to control lift during stunts. Power comes from a Tamiya 540 brushed motor; add your chosen ESC and radio set to complete the build.

Regular cleaning of the gearbox area, checking gear mesh and lubricating moving parts will keep the model running smoothly, especially after off-road sessions.
