Scale-True Tamiya 57059 - 1/10 Ford F-350 High-Lift R/C Kit Off-Road Build  [57059]

Classic Pickup Recreation with Scale Focus

The Tamiya 57059 - 1/10 Ford F-350 High-Lift R/C Kit faithfully recreates the look and stance of the Ford F-350 in 1/10 scale. The model pairs a realistic ladder frame with a 3-speed gearbox to mirror the mechanical character of the original truck, making it appealing to builders and off-road RC fans.

Metal Parts and Scale Details

The body uses precision injection molding and sits on large diameter wheels to emphasise the high-clearance profile. Key components such as the ladder frame, leaf springs and friction dampers are metal for improved strength and realism, while metal-plated roll bar, bumpers and grille add authentic sheen.

Drive Train and Gearbox Highlights

This kit includes a 4WD shaft drive layout and a newly developed 3-speed transmission that shifts smoothly while running. A slipper clutch is fitted to reduce shock loads to the gears, and the propeller shafts use universal joints to keep drive consistent as the suspension articulates.

Tuneable Suspension for Varied Terrain

Ride characteristics are adjustable via the leaf spring suspension and friction dampers. Builders can change grease and O-rings to tune damping to different surfaces, and the selectable 4-wheel steering option improves maneuvering in tight spots.

Optional Lighting and Sound

The optional Multi-Function Unit can be added to provide authentic engine and horn sounds and to operate LED headlights and tail lights, enhancing both visual detail and on-track presence.

The Tamiya Ford F-350 High-Lift is well suited to RC hobbyists who want a rewarding assembly combined with true-to-scale off-road performance. Its metal details and drivetrain layout provide a solid platform for tuning and upgrades.
