The Tamiya 58498 Blackfoot III celebrates a long-running legend in a 1/10 2WD package that blends retro styling with practical engineering. Built as the fifth Blackfoot model, it appeals to collectors and drivers who value a straightforward, serviceable monster truck platform.
Metal-plated trim pieces add visual toughness while the reinforced polycarbonate monocoque frame keeps components protected and simple to reach. The pre-assembled gearbox reduces build time and helps newcomers get on the track faster.
A four-wheel double wishbone layout gives predictable handling across varied surfaces, and the 130mm diameter tyres help the truck roll over rough ground with confidence. The included Type 540 motor supplies reliable propulsion without extra setup.
The Blackfoot III wears a sturdy resin body complete with a driver figure to boost realism. The kit does not include an electronic speed controller, which lets builders pick an ESC to match their preferred driving style.
This kit is a great match for hobbyists who want a nostalgic monster truck that is still straightforward to maintain and upgrade.
