RC fans who enjoy realistic industrial scale builds will appreciate the Tamiya 58268 - 1/20 RC Mammoth Dump Truck. Designed after large mining haulers, this kit focuses on authentic function and rugged presentation rather than speed alone.
The kit uses a shaft-driven 4WD layout powered by two motors. A main 540-size motor drives the wheels while a secondary motor with a worm gear shaft operates the dump body. This arrangement gives smooth propulsion and reliable dump control for accurate model operation.
Control is handled via a two-channel radio system that manages driving and the dump function without needing extra channels. The dump bed is capable of carrying up to 8.8 lbs (4 kg), letting you load and unload materials during demo runs.
The chassis is based on the durable Juggernaut 2 Monster Truck platform. Die-cast gears sit inside sealed gearboxes to protect moving parts, and the coil plus leaf spring suspension helps the model tackle rough surfaces. The cab and dump body are moulded in shock-resistant plastic for longevity and scale detail.
The Tamiya 58268 Mammoth Dump Truck is a standout kit for hobbyists who value scale fidelity and mechanical function, whether building for display or hands-on operation.
