Fans of hard-packed trails and backyard bashing will appreciate the Tamiya 57831 - 1/10 RC RTR XB Montero Wheelie, a 2WD model that channels the spirit of the Dakar era. Known in various markets as the Montero, Pajero, or Shogun, this replica focuses on rugged looks and classic wheelie behaviour built on a proven Lunch Box style chassis.
The Montero Wheelie uses a box-type frame engineered to withstand rough use. A front swing axle and a rear rolling rigid setup give predictable handling on uneven ground, while the fully enclosed gearbox keeps gears and internals protected from dirt and grit.
Tamiya moulded the body from robust injection parts and added scale touches like a cargo bed, spare wheel and roll cage to lift realism. The 115mm diameter tyres provide a good contact patch and help smooth impacts across mixed surfaces.
This ready-to-run kit arrives with the Finespec 2.4GHz transmitter and receiver pre-installed, plus a 540 motor and TEU-105BK ESC with BEC. To drive straight away you will need to fit a 7.2 Volt battery pack and charger, and place AA cells into the transmitter.
The Tamiya 57831 Montero Wheelie makes a solid pick for newcomers and seasoned builders who want authentic style, straightforward mechanics and plenty of wheelie action without complex setup.
