The Tamiya 58700-60A captures the character of the 1990 Land Rover Defender 90 fitted to the versatile CC-02 chassis. Celebrated for its rugged lineage, the Defender 90 is modelled here in a three-door layout with a 93-inch wheelbase, giving scale realism and authentic proportions for trail and display use.
The CC-02 chassis evolves Tamiya's approach to tough terrains with a ladder frame style construction for strength. The motor sits longitudinally behind the front axle and links to a separate gearbox and transfer case, while propeller shafts deliver drive to the diffs for dependable power transfer on uneven ground.
This Defender 90 uses a four-link rigid suspension paired with CVA oil dampers to smooth out rough trails and technical rock sections. Black ABS resin wheels and semi-pneumatic all-terrain rubber tyres provide firm grip and predictable handling across varied surfaces.
The kit includes a polycarbonate body with separately moulded grille, side mirrors, light cases and outer roll cages for authentic appearance. It accepts 5mm-diameter LEDs for front and rear lighting and supports a range of Hop-Up Option Parts for customisation and performance upgrades.
The Tamiya 58700-60A Land Rover Defender 90 is a solid choice for RC hobbyists who value scale fidelity and upgrade potential, combining authentic looks with a capable CC-02 platform.
