The Ford SVT F-150 Lightning made its name after debuting at the 1998 Chicago Auto Show, famed for its supercharged 5.4-litre V8 and blend of performance and pickup practicality. Tamiya has reproduced that spirit in a 1/10 scale assembly model that lets builders enjoy the look and handling of the Lightning on a hobby bench and on the track.
Tamiya's finish work shows in the precise polycarbonate shell that mirrors the Lightning's front spoiler, flared arches and tonneau cover. The kit includes window masks and grille decals so the completed model presents a convincing scale appearance straight from the box.
The TT-01E platform uses a low-mounted motor and battery layout inside a bathtub frame to lower the centre of gravity for steadier handling. A fiberglass reinforced nylon upper deck and gear covers boost rigidity, while the 3-piece tie rod provides predictable steering. With 4-wheel double wishbone suspension, front and rear differential gears and racing radial tyres on 5-spoke wheels, the chassis balances durability and approachable performance.
The Tamiya 58481 Ford SVT F-150 Lightning suits both newcomers and experienced builders who want a robust, true-to-scale truck with authentic styling and reliable chassis dynamics.
