The Tamiya Toyota Hilux High-Lift (TAM58397) is a 1/10 scale radio control crawler kit based on the iconic Toyota Hilux, built for slow-speed off-road obstacle crawling over rocks, ruts, and rough terrain. Unlike Tamiya's faster road and buggy kits, this RC crawler is engineered specifically for low-speed torque and articulation, making it one of Tamiya's most capable off-road builds in their 1/10 scale range. The kit suits builders with some prior Tamiya assembly experience, though committed beginners will manage with patience. Once complete, it delivers a highly detailed, functional model that rewards careful driving over technical terrain rather than flat-out speed.
Key Features
- Three-speed transmission with high, low, and reverse gears gives the crawler genuine low-range crawling capability on steep or uneven surfaces.
- High ground clearance and a live axle setup provide the wheel articulation needed for realistic off-road obstacle performance.
- Detailed Toyota Hilux body shell captures the shape of the full-size pickup, with working suspension at all four corners.
- Construction requires a motor, ESC, radio system, servo, battery, and charger — giving experienced builders full control over drivetrain and electronics choices.
- The kit format means the finished model reflects the time and effort put into the build, with no shortcuts taken on the mechanical assembly.
