Tamiya 58481 - RC Ford SVT F-150 Lightning - TT01E  [58481]

Ford's Super Pick-Up

The 1998 Chicago Auto Show saw the debut of Ford SVT F-150 Lightning, which offered superb performance thanks to its 5.4 liter supercharged V8 motor. This effective pick-up truck is reproduced as a Tamiya 1/10 scale R/C construction kit model. Its powerful form, like the front spoiler built-into the bumper and flared front & rear fenders, has all been realistically reproduced with durable polycarbonate. The tonneau cover area can be accurately rendered. In addition, the kit includes screen masking stickers and stickers to depict leading grille.

Evolved Chassis

The bath tub framework of developed shaft-driven 4WD TT-01 Type-E has its engine and battery close to the ground for lower center of gravity and maximum balance. Attached to the tub frame are a fiberglass reinforced nylon upper deck and gear covers which improve rigidity, and a 3-piece tie pole to present smooth steering action. The reduced center of gravity, great balanced design, 4 wheel double wishbone suspension system system, and front side and back differential gears all get together to effect a result of superb driving faculties. racing radial tires with practical tread pattern are installed on 5-spoke tires.
