Explore the Tamiya 58628 DT-03 Racing Fighter platform

The Tamiya 58628 DT-03 Racing Fighter is a 1/10 scale electric buggy that showcases Tamiya engineering in a user-friendly package. The long wheelbase and wide track offered by the DT-03 chassis provide stable handling, making it suitable for practice runs and club racing alike.

Simple, robust body design

A durable polycarbonate shell comes with a rear wing and fresh decals, letting you finish the model with your own style. The monocoque DT-03 chassis keeps electronics and battery centrally mounted, which helps balance and simplifies servicing between sessions.

Practical performance features

Supplied with a torque-tuned motor and CVA oil dampers, the Racing Fighter balances acceleration with controlled suspension movement. The double wishbone suspension, together with front ribbed and rear square-spike tyres, provides good traction across typical off-road surfaces. The sealed rear gearbox with internal differential promotes smooth cornering and shields components from dust.

Upgrade friendly

The DT-03 platform supports many aftermarket parts, allowing owners to refine handling, increase power, or improve durability as their skills and demands grow.

The kit suits beginners willing to assemble and learn basic setup, while also appealing to experienced hobbyists who want an easy platform to modify.
Use ribbed or slick patterns for hard packed surfaces and softer, more aggressive compounds for loose or grassy tracks. Trial and error with tyre compound and pressure is common to find the best grip.
Check the ESC rating against any proposed motor upgrade. For significant power increases, fitting an ESC specified for brushless and higher current is recommended.
Blow out dust with compressed air, clean and re-lubricate bearings, and inspect gearbox seals. Regular checks prevent premature wear and keep performance consistent.
