The Tamiya 58700 brings the short-wheelbase Defender 90 to the RC scene with attention to scale detail and functional engineering. This three-door silhouette is modelled to reflect the 93-inch wheelbase and benefits from the strong CC-02 underframe for dependable trail use.
The CC-02 chassis was developed to handle an array of off-road conditions, from creek crossings to rough dirt tracks. The ladder frame design adds structural durability. A longitudinal motor behind the front axle drives a separate gearbox and transfer case, sending power through propeller shafts to both differentials. Combined with a four-link rigid axle arrangement and CVA oil dampers, the system delivers stable wheel control on uneven ground.
This assembly kit includes a polycarbonate body for scale appearance and light weight, black ABS resin wheels and semi-pneumatic all-terrain rubber tyres to improve grip. The body can accommodate 5mm LEDs for functioning headlights and rear lamps to add realism during low-light runs.
Tamiya's Hop-Up Option Parts let builders enhance strength, handling and looks on the CC-02. From cosmetic touches to performance components, there are straightforward upgrades suitable for both newcomers and experienced model builders.
The Tamiya 58700 Land Rover Defender 90 is a rewarding kit for those who want scale authenticity plus upgrade paths. Its CC-02 chassis balances durability with tunability for varied off-road use.
