Tamiya 58309 Twin Detonator: Twin-Motor 4WD Kit

The Tamiya 58309 Twin Detonator pairs a classic twin-motor layout with a durable construction suited to enthusiasts who like reliable, maintainable models for outdoor use. It is a practical platform for both running and upgrading.

Matched Type 540 Motors for Even Power Sharing

The truck employs two Type 540 motors placed at front and rear to distribute torque and enhance traction. The centrally located battery contributes to consistent handling by keeping mass near the centreline.

Long-Lasting Chassis and Effective Suspension

A strong monocoque frame protects the gear-train and reduces service time, while the double wishbone suspension smooths out rough ground. Pre-assembled gearboxes make routine maintenance straightforward.

Functional Appearance Built to Work

The polycarbonate body, supported by a metal-plated roll bar, rides on large tyres that provide clearance and grip needed for trail driving and casual bashing.

The Tamiya 58309 Twin Detonator is a dependable kit for hobbyists who value a robust starting point for both running and upgrades, offering a balance of durability and tunability.

It is built for bashing and club-level use; competitive racing usually requires further upgrades to drivetrain and suspension.
The stock tyres are 130mm diameter by 60mm width; many aftermarket options match these dimensions for easier replacement.
Use waterproof servos and ESCs or seal the standard units with conformal coating and careful wiring routing to limit exposure.
The kit is designed around 7.2V packs as recommended by the manufacturer; switching to different battery types requires checking voltage and ESC compatibility.
