Tamiya 57702 XB Ford SVT F-150 Lightning Overview for Hobbyists

The Tamiya 57702 XB Ford SVT F-150 Lightning is a standout 1/10 scale truck that blends scale looks with practical RC design. Built on the TL-01 chassis, it uses a shaft-driven full-time 4WD layout and a polycarbonate body, with an ABS monocoque frame protecting the sealed gearboxes for dependable operation.

TL-01 Chassis Design and Handling

The TL-01 underpinnings give the Tamiya 57702 a stable platform with double wishbone suspension and four friction dampers. This combination provides predictable handling and a forgiving ride on mixed surfaces, ideal for drivers who want consistent behaviour from their model.

Faithful Scale Styling from the SVT Lightning

The real Ford SVT F-150 Lightning inspired the model's aggressive stance and proportions, and this 1/10 replica captures those visual cues while remaining suitable for club runs and casual street sessions. The bodywork reproduces the profile and presence of the original truck.

Tuning, Hop-Ups and Personalisation

Owners can tune the Tamiya 57702 with available hop-up parts like the TL-01 universal shafts and carbon propeller shaft, or fit speed-tuned gear sets and adjustable upper arms to alter gearing and suspension geometry for different driving styles.

The Tamiya 57702 XB Ford SVT F-150 Lightning is a reliable, tuneable platform that suits hobbyists seeking scale realism with scope for upgrades and maintenance.
