Tamiya 58499 1/10 Mitsubishi Montero Wheelie Kit - CW-01 2WD  [58499]

Tamiya 58499 Mitsubishi Montero Wheelie Overview

Built for off-road excitement, the Tamiya 58499 - 1/10 RC Mitsubishi Montero Wheelie recreates the first-generation Montero, also known as the Pajero or Shogun, which earned a reputation in events like the Dakar Rally. On the CW-01 chassis this kit combines rugged construction with the ability to perform wheelies, making it appealing to both collectors and active RC drivers.

Key Performance Traits

The Montero Wheelie uses a 2WD layout similar to the classic Lunch Box, featuring a front swing axle and a rear rolling rigid suspension. That setup helps the truck tackle rough surfaces while still enabling wheelie stunts. A fully enclosed gearbox protects gears from dust and grit to keep the drivetrain running reliably.

Scale Detail with Practical Engineering

The body is injection-molded and includes cargo bed detail, a spare tyre and a roll cage for authentic scale appeal. Large 115mm diameter tyres add presence and traction, and the supplied wheelie bar helps control lift during stunts. The kit is powered by a Tamiya 540 brushed motor and is ready for you to add your chosen electronic speed controller and radio gear.

The Tamiya 58499 Mitsubishi Montero Wheelie suits hobbyists who want a mix of scale accuracy and playful handling. It is accessible for new builders and offers scope for enthusiasts to tune and personalise.
