Tamiya 58539 Vintage 1/10 Fast Attack Vehicle Kit  [58539]

Heritage Military Buggy: Tamiya 58539 Fast Attack Vehicle

The Tamiya 58539 Fast Attack Vehicle recreates the look of classic military buggies in a 1/10 scale assembly kit. Its rugged styling and distinctive shark mouth stickers echo WWII aircraft nose art while delivering a concise, buildable model for track or trail use.

Design Roots and Durable Build

First introduced in 1984, this Fast Attack Vehicle earned a following for its authentic lines and straightforward engineering. The updated kit keeps that heritage intact with a sturdy ABS plastic body and integrated roll cage that give both scale presence and real durability for regular running.

Chassis and Drive Details

The buggy runs on a 2WD platform driven by a standard 540-brushed motor for dependable, easy-to-maintain power. Suspension uses fully independent double wishbones and the bell-crank steering setup for predictable handling. Rally block rubber tyres and simple friction dampers help it cope with mixed off-road surfaces.

Included Accessories and Custom Options

The kit contains parts to assemble a soldier figure and an M60 machine gun to enhance scale realism. Vinyl shark mouth stickers are supplied for the iconic look, and the model's fixed camber, ride height, and gear ratio keep the build simple for newcomers while leaving room for cosmetic personalization.

The Tamiya 58539 Fast Attack Vehicle suits both first-time kit builders and long-time collectors who appreciate period styling. Its clear assembly path and rugged components make it a reliable option for casual off-road running.
