Tamiya 58280 TXT-1 Twin Motor 1/8 Extreme Truck Kit  [58280]

Built for Big Terrain: Tamiya 58280 TXT-1 Monster Truck

For hobbyists chasing big-scale thrills, the Tamiya 58280 - 1/8 TXT-1 Extreme Truck Kit delivers a raw, mechanical monster truck experience. The aluminum ladder frame and multi-link suspension give it the strength and articulation needed for demanding off-road runs.

Engineering Highlights of the TXT-1

The TXT-1 recreates full-size monster truck dynamics with solid axles and a cantilever arrangement that maximise suspension travel. The kit supports four-wheel steering hardware and calls for a 2 or 3 channel radio system to control steering and throttle functions.

Twin Motor 4WD Power Delivery

With parallel twin 540 motors driving a propeller shaft to the front and rear axles, the TXT-1 provides consistent torque across all wheels. This drivetrain layout is designed to tackle steep climbs, rough trails, and heavy-duty bashing sessions.

Rugged Construction for Long Service

Durable aluminum side frames and reinforced suspension arms create a custom-grade feel while the two-stage gearbox helps manage power transfer. The 4-link rigid wheel setup with push rods and locking arms maintains wheel alignment under load, and the cantilever shocks paired with oversized tyres soak up impacts.

Specifications

The Tamiya 58280 TXT-1 suits experienced builders and serious RC drivers looking for a tough, high-capacity monster truck platform.
