Tamiya 58334 Rising Storm DF-02 1/10 Buggy Kit  [58334]

What the Tamiya 58334 Rising Storm Delivers

The Tamiya 58334 Rising Storm is a 1/10 scale buggy built on the DF-02 chassis that blends durability with straightforward upgrade options. It is aimed at hobbyists who want a dependable chassis to develop handling and tuning skills.

Chassis Layout and Driving Stability

The DF-02 chassis provides a robust base and balanced dynamics. With a shaft-driven 4WD system, the buggy transfers power evenly, and the longitudinal motor and battery positioning lower the centre of gravity for steadier control during aggressive driving.

Shell Details and Modding Options

The Rising Storm bodywork includes a rear tail wing and intake areas that enhance airflow and visual appeal. Marked cut-lines make it simple to fit optional items like the TT-01 Aluminum Motor Heat Sink (Item 53664) for improved heat management.

Handling, Bearings and Steering Setup

Equipped with front and rear oil dampers, the buggy soaks up rough terrain and provides reliable landings. The semi-bearing drivetrain with eight ball bearings reduces internal drag, and the turn-buckle shaft steering linkage allows for precise toe and steering adjustments.

The Tamiya 58334 Rising Storm is a practical, upgrade-friendly kit for modelers looking to progress from casual use to more focused track work. Its common hop-up options make it easy to tailor performance.
