Tamiya 58511 Nissan Titan 1/12 Off-Road Truck Kit  [58511]

Overview of the Tamiya 58511 Nissan Titan RC Truck

The Tamiya 58511 Nissan Titan brings a compact but authentic off-road model to scale RC fans. Built on the proven DT-02 chassis, this 1/12 truck blends approachable assembly with the look of the race truck that ran in the 2006 CORR season.

DT-02 Chassis Highlights

The DT-02 platform is valued for its rugged build and straightforward construction, making it well suited to both first-time builders and experienced hobbyists. The 2WD layout combined with full independent suspension and oil-filled dampers helps the truck stay controlled over uneven surfaces, and the updated damper stays increase usable suspension travel.

Authentic Styling and Tough Shell

The polycarbonate Nissan Titan body captures the silhouette of the real vehicle while keeping weight low for better handling. A fully enclosed gearbox protects gears and bearings from grit, which helps maintain performance after repeated off-road runs.

Drive Components and Extras

This kit is supplied with a Type 540 motor and includes helpful extras like eight 1150 ball bearings to reduce drivetrain friction. Note that an electronic speed controller is not included. The dual block tyres provide reliable traction across grass, dirt and gravel.

Tamiya 58511 is a practical choice for hobbyists wanting a straightforward build with genuine off-road styling. Its robust chassis and replaceable parts make it an attractive kit for club racers and collectors alike.
