Tamiya 58700 1/10 Land Rover Defender 90 CC-02 4WD Kit Trail Edition  [58700]

Classic Defender 90 Recreated on the CC-02 Platform

The Tamiya 58700 recreates the iconic 1990 Land Rover Defender 90 as a detailed RC model that blends scale authenticity with practical hobby engineering. Celebrated for its off-road heritage, the three-door 93-inch wheelbase silhouette is faithfully rendered and mounted on Tamiya's proven CC-02 chassis.

CC-02 Chassis Engineering

The CC-02 chassis is built for varied off-road use, coping well with rocky sections, rutted trails and soft ground. Its ladder frame layout mirrors full-size construction for long-lasting strength. Power is delivered by a longitudinal motor placed behind the front axle with a separate gearbox and transfer case, sending torque via prop shafts to front and rear diffs. Four-link rigid axles with CVA oil dampers give predictable articulation and control over uneven surfaces.

Assembly and On-Track Feel

This 1/10 assembly kit uses a polycarbonate body for lightweight durability and includes black ABS resin wheels fitted with semi-pneumatic all-terrain rubber tyres to improve traction on varied surfaces. The kit accepts LED lighting so you can add functional headlights and taillights for night runs or scale realism.

Upgrades and Tuning

Builders can tailor performance and looks using Tamiya Hop-Up Option Parts made for the CC-02. Whether you stick to a stock build or fit stronger components, the platform supports incremental upgrades that suit both first-time builders and experienced modelers.

The Tamiya 58700 Land Rover Defender 90 is a satisfying kit for hobbyists who value scale detail and room to customise. Its durable design and versatile CC-02 underpinnings make it a dependable choice for both new builders and seasoned RC drivers.
