The Tamiya 58511 Nissan Titan delivers a compact race truck experience in 1/12 scale, mounted on the tried-and-tested DT-02 chassis. It reflects the look of the Titan that contested CORR in 2006 while keeping the build approachable.
The DT-02 is praised for its straightforward maintenance and sturdy construction. The truck's 2WD configuration combined with independent suspension provides stable handling, and oil-filled dampers with new damper stays extend suspension travel for better obstacle absorption.
The polycarbonate body reproduces the Titan profile while remaining light for improved response. A fully enclosed gearbox helps keep internal parts clear of dirt, which simplifies upkeep after off-road use.
The kit ships with a Type 540 motor and useful bonus parts including eight 1150 ball bearings to boost drivetrain smoothness. An electronic speed controller is not supplied. The dual block tyres supply good traction across a range of surfaces.
Tamiya 58511 is a dependable kit for hobbyists who want vintage race styling in a manageable package, and it provides a solid base for modest tuning and upgrades.
