The Tamiya 58495 celebrates the endurance and raw appeal of the Baja 1000 by recreating the Ford F-150 trophy truck in 1/10 scale. This assemble-yourself kit gives RC fans a hands-on replica that captures desert racing character while remaining approachable for hobbyists.
Built around the proven TA02T platform, the model features a shaft-driven full-time 4WD layout that keeps power steady across loose or compact surfaces. The double wishbone suspension helps the truck stay composed whether you are tackling rough trails or cruising smooth pavement.
The bathtub-style chassis uses honeycomb-pattern ribs for added stiffness without excess weight. A front differential gear paired with a rear ball differential balances traction and cornering response in varied conditions.
The polycarbonate body reproduces the Ford F-150 lines with clear detail, while semi-gloss metal-plated wheels and block-tread tyres add both period-correct looks and practical grip for mixed terrain runs.
Factory-specified components include a 540-J motor and Tamiya 104-BK ESC for predictable power delivery and throttle control. Oil dampers smooth out impacts, giving more consistent handling on bumps and whoops.
Whether you are new to kit builds or a seasoned modeller, the Tamiya 58495 Ford F-150 Baja provides a rewarding assembly experience and a capable runner for backyard or trail sessions.
