The Tamiya 58459 1/10 RC Datsun 240Z Rally Version channels the hard-driving character of the East African Safari Rally into a detailed assembly kit. This tribute captures the Datsun 240Z that tackled the rough stages in the early 1970s, including the notable 1971 Safari Rally driven by Herrman and Schuller, and celebrates that period of rallying history.
The DF-03Ra chassis is engineered for rough terrain and weekend rally runs. This 1/10 scale kit assembles into a sturdy 4WD layout that delivers dependable traction across mixed surfaces. The clear polycarbonate body recreates the classic Datsun silhouette while the included Type 540 motor gives a reliable power base. Tamiya option parts are available for tuning handling and speed to suit your driving style.
Attention to detail is clear in the separately molded resin light cases and bumper pieces. The kit supports the Tamiya LED Light Unit TLU-01 (sold separately) so you can light the twin hood spotlights for night stages or display. Black offset +2 wheels fitted with Rally Block Tires complete the rugged rally stance and provide practical grip.
Whether you assemble models for display or competitive club events, the Tamiya 58459 gives a satisfying build and a historically faithful result. With the TEU-104BK ESC included, you get a solid electronics starting point for further upgrades or running straight out of the box once radio, battery and charger are fitted.
The Tamiya 58459 Datsun 240Z Rally Version is a rewarding project for hobbyists who value period-correct detail and a capable 4WD platform, suitable for display or spirited off-road running.
