Reborn off-road classic

When Tamiya first introduced the XR311 in 1977 it opened new possibilities for hobbyists interested in off-road buggies. The model quickly gained a reputation for authentic military looks and dependable handling. This updated release preserves that heritage while incorporating practical improvements that suit today's RC builders and drivers.

Chassis updates built for longer life

The updated chassis keeps the XR311's distinctive silhouette but is revised for modern components. It supports a standard 7.2V battery pack and is built to accept an electronic speed controller, replacing the original wiring layout. A steel torsion bar takes the place of the earlier plastic piece to give improved toughness for rough surfaces without changing the original driving character.

Accurate bodywork and easy customising

The plastic body captures the XR311's military-inspired shape with crisp panel detail. The shell is well suited to realistic paint schemes, and many builders choose camouflage finishes to enhance the vintage military feel. The model offers clear scope for small visual upgrades while keeping the original look intact.
