Real-Life Inspiration: The JGSDF Light Armored Vehicle

The original JGSDF Light Armored Vehicle was developed to enhance the mobility and protection of the Japanese Ground Self Defense Force. Built with a 160hp diesel engine, it can reach speeds up to 100km/h while carrying four personnel. Its lightweight design allows it to be transported via helicopter or aircraft, making it an ideal choice for rapid deployment in humanitarian missions, such as those in Iraq in 2004. This RC model mirrors these features with a detailed polycarbonate body that reflects the vehicle's rugged yet functional design.

Unmatched Off-Road Capability

At the heart of this RC vehicle is a shaft-driven 4WD system, ensuring high mobility across various terrains. The independent double wishbone suspension, coupled with oil-filled dampers and block tires, provides superior handling and stability. Whether navigating rocky paths or smooth trails, the Tamiya 58326 delivers a driving experience that closely resembles the maneuverability of its real-world counterpart.

Technical Excellence in Every Component

This model is equipped with a Type 540 motor, offering reliable power and speed. The inclusion of front and rear gear differentials facilitates smooth cornering, enhancing control during high-speed maneuvers. The bathtub-style chassis provides a sturdy foundation, while the pre-painted polycarbonate body ensures durability and aesthetic appeal. For RC hobbyists who appreciate technical detail, the Tamiya 58326 is a perfect blend of form and function.
