58481 Tamiya – RC Ford SVT F-150 Lightning – TT01E

Ford&39;s Super Pick-Up

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

Evolved Chassis

The bathtub frame of the evolved shaft-driven 4WD TT-01 Type-E has its motor
and battery close to the ground for lower center of gravity and optimum balance.
Mounted on the bathtub frame are a fiberglass reinforced nylon upper deck and
gear covers which improve rigidity, as well as a 3-piece tie rod to provide
smooth steering action. The low center of gravity, great balanced design, 4
wheel double wishbone suspension system, and front and rear differential gears
all come together to result in superb driving characteristics. racing radial
tires with realistic tread pattern are mounted on 5-spoke wheels.
