Tamiya 58061 Striker RC Car
Strongly regarded by Tamiya collectors all over the world as one of Tamiya’s least accomplished models, the Striker is both unusual in looks and mechanical design. Although aimed at the cheaper end of the market and more specifically for beginners, the Tamiya 58061 Striker is certainly one of tamiya’s weaker models construction wise, making it not quite as suitable for beginners are originally intended.
The Tamiya Striker’s body shell has a shape more reminiscent of an F1 car than an off road buggy, and it’s certainly an acquired taste, but that said, it did prove attractive to many a collector and newcomer to the hobby over the years.
The chassis is of the plastic tub style and is manufactured from white ABS plastic. It differs greatly though from most other Tamiya cars due to it’s integration with the body shell on top, almost making the body just a small chassis cover & cockpit. Drive train wise, the Striker is powered by a rear wheel drive gear box & motor assembly with gear differential and industry standard RS540 motor (silver can). Suspension is facilitated by Swing arms on the front and trailing arms on the rear with coil spring friction shocks. These are adequate, but in no way high performance.
White spoke wheels, rear spiked tyres and ribbed front tyres.
