The Tamiya 58695 Wild One Off-Roader brings a classic silhouette back to life with a fresh Blockhead Motors graphic by Jun Watanabe. This kit captures the spirit of 1980s off-road models while staying usable with present-day components.
The model is produced at 1/10 scale with overall measurements of 425mm length, 140mm height and 225mm width, and a 255mm wheelbase. The ABS box-type chassis balances strength with lightness, and the battery bay supports popular options such as Tamiya Racing Packs and LF batteries. A 2WD platform with fully independent suspension and coil springs delivers predictable control on broken ground.
An enclosed gearbox with differential gears improves corner stability, while dog bone-type driveshafts and dust covers add protection. The kit includes a 540-type brushed motor, while a 2-channel radio, steering servo, ESC and a 7.2-7.4V battery with charger are required separately to complete the vehicle.
This edition arrives with a light blue pre-cut, pre-painted polycarbonate body and new Blockhead Motors decals. Metal-plated accents, window nets, number plates and a dummy antenna contribute to an authentic period look and make the model stand out on display.
The Tamiya 58695 Wild One Off-Roader is a solid pick for hobbyists who want a retro-themed kit that accepts modern electronics and can be enjoyed both on the track and as part of a collection.
