How could a Tamiya German Police Monster Truck look like?

Kindly provided by Kai from RC Channel Blog

My son desperately wants an R/C monster truck for his birthday and he is a big police fan. Since there is nothing suitable from Tamiya, I created one myself! It’s based on the Twin Detonator (#58309). Fortunately I got a used vehicle in pretty bad condition. The restoration took some time and effort, but it was fully worth it!

Tamiya 58657 Land Rover Defender 90 (CC-01)


Another big name joins the world of Tamiya R/C: the Land Rover Defender is an enduring vehicle that traces its lineage back to the original Land Rover cars first released in the immediate post-WWII era. This model recreates an early version of the Defender 90 (so named on account of its wheelbase length), the shorter wheelbase variant of the car.

About the Model • This is a 1/10 scale R/C model assembly kit. Length: 457mm, width: 200mm, height: 214mm, wheelbase: 242mm. • The classic Defender 90 form is accurately captured by the polycarbonate body, with slide molding used for great detail such as rear panel surfaces. • Includes separately molded parts for grille, side mirrors, light cases and tire cover. • Compatible with 5mm-diameter LEDs (White) x2 for headlights and 5mm-diameter LEDs x6 for the rear. • Matte plated wheels are paired with realistic tires featuring authentic tread pattern. • Highly reliable CC-01 chassis features a full-time 4WD system and front double wishbone, rear 4-link rigid suspension equipped with 4 CVA oil dampers. • An expansive range of option parts is available to customize the CC-01 chassis.
