Classic Lines Updated: Tamiya VQS 58686

The Vanquish has been updated as the VQS 58686 to retain its classic identity while adding contemporary improvements. This model targets hobbyists looking for retro character combined with sensible performance upgrades.

Practical Upgrades for Everyday Use

While the body preserves the original aesthetic, modern touches make it easier to maintain and race. The pre-cut and pre-painted polycarbonate body speeds up build time, and aluminium front uprights together with universal shafts from the Avante 2011 reissue boost reliability.

Sturdy Bathtub Chassis and Reliable Differentials

The bathtub chassis provides a solid platform and component protection. Planetary gear differentials deliver dependable torque distribution for the supplied 540-size brushed motor, and the setup leaves room for suspension and gear tuning.

Finishing the Kit

With an ESC included the car is close to completion once assembled. You will still need a 2-channel radio, a steering servo, and a 7.2-volt battery pack plus charger to get on track.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Body: Pre-cut and pre-painted polycarbonate
  • Chassis: Bathtub type
  • Motor: 540-size brushed
  • Differential: Planetary gear units
  • ESC: Included

The Tamiya VQS 58686 is a balanced package for builders who appreciate vintage form and want a dependable, tuneable platform. It suits club racing and showroom display alike.

Very pleased with the service. I will order again soon. Thanks

Do I need special tools to build the kit?

Standard hobby tools like screwdrivers, nippers, hobby knife and small pliers are sufficient. A soldering iron and thread lock are useful for electronics and metal hardware.

Is the chassis compatible with aftermarket shocks?

Yes, the VQS layout accepts many common shock designs. Check mounting positions and lengths to ensure correct fit and ride height adjustments.

What maintenance should I do after running?

Clean debris from the bathtub chassis, inspect universal shafts and differentials, and check for loose screws. Regular gear and bearing lubrication helps longevity.

Can I paint the body for a custom look?

The body is pre-painted, but if you want a custom scheme you can repaint or apply vinyl decals. Use compatible polycarbonate paints and remove the factory finish carefully if repainting.

Will the stock motor handle competitive racing?

The included 540-size brushed motor is fine for casual club racing, but serious competitors often opt for higher-performance motors and ESCs to obtain more power and efficiency.
