58621 Tamiya MV-01X | 1/10 RC Suzuki Jimny (JB23) Painted Metallic Blue Body

We are excited to see that Tamiya has released Suzuki Jimny (JB23) (58621) in 1/10 MF-01X chassis and comes with a Metallic Blue painted body. It allows radio control modelers to concentrate on building their car while leaving the paint task to the Tamiya experts at the factory. For now you can check out the official press release information below.

The MF-01X is a compact chassis that revolutionizes the M-Chassis genre. The
Jimny body that is mounted on the chassis, of course, has been on sale as one
variant or another since 1970, gaining numerous fans thanks to its versatility
and toughness. The JB23 depicted by this model is one of the 3rd generation
Jimnys introduced in 1998 which had a modernized, rounded body design. It featured
a feisty little fuel injected, turbocharged 658cc engine and was a popular car
in the domestic Japanese market.

Key Design Points:

• Power is transmitted from the rear mounted motor to the front wheels via
  a propeller shaft that runs down the side of the MF- 01X. Gearboxes are integrated
  into the monocoque for a sturdy and easy-to-assemble structure.
• The MF-01X has a three-section make-up; changing the central spacer section
  enables short
  (210mm), middle (225mm), and long (239mm) wheelbases. Item 58614 uses a middle
  wheelbase; option parts Item 54654 is needed to change to a short wheelbase,
  and Item 54655 when changing to a long wheelbase.
