Classic Performance Reborn in Miniature

The Tamiya 58222 Ford SVT F-150 Lightning TL-01 celebrates the sporty pickup with an accurate scale body and a build that appeals to model builders who value both looks and driving behaviour. The kit reproduces the distinctive lines of the SVT Lightning while using the TL-01 platform as a strong, easy-to-work-on base for on-road use.

TL-01 Chassis: Built for Precision

The TL-01 chassis is noted for its stable engineering and long service life. It uses a shaft-driven full-time 4WD system to keep traction predictable, and sealed gearboxes with reliable differential gearing give consistent power delivery. The monocoque frame keeps the weight down while maintaining rigidity for quicker lap times.

Responsive Double Wishbone Suspension

With fully independent double wishbones and four friction dampers, the chassis provides composed handling on smooth surfaces and tarmac. The suspension setup is forgiving for new builders yet allows experienced drivers to tweak ride height and handling to match their driving style.

Authentic Bodywork and Easy Custom Paint

The clear polycarbonate body makes personalising straightforward, and the included rubber radial tyres on 10-spoke wheels reproduce the truck look faithfully. Adjustable ground clearance and gear ratio options let owners fine-tune performance or aesthetics without complex machining.

A 2-channel radio set and a 7.2V NiMH pack will get you running; choose a reliable charger and ensure the battery fits the TL-01 battery tray before finalising the purchase.
Yes, with an appropriate motor mount and pinion choice you can install a small brushless setup, but check gearing and ESC cooling to avoid overheating in tight installations.
