Tamiya 58362 Top-Force Heritage Race Buggy Kit  [58362]

Top-Force Revival and Racing Roots

When it debuted in 1991 the Top-Force marked a milestone for Tamiya and became known for its ground-hugging stance. The 2005 reissue preserves the core layout while allowing modern drivers to set up the car to contemporary handling tastes.

Protection with Low Drag

The bodyshell balances airflow and component protection. Sealed gearboxes at the front and rear are mounted between robust 2mm FRP plates, creating a tidy chassis arrangement that resists impact and keeps drivetrain parts aligned.

Efficient Powertrain and Setup Options

Power flows through a hard propeller shaft to front and rear ball differentials for consistent 4WD traction. The double wishbone suspension with four CVA dampers provides plenty of setup options to tune camber, toe and damping for different circuits.

What You Need to Finish the Build

The Tamiya 58362 Top-Force kit requires a 2-channel transmitter and servos, a 6-cell battery fitted with the standard Tamiya connector, an AC/DC charger, polycarbonate paint for the shell and routine modelling tools to assemble and commission the car.

The Tamiya 58362 Top-Force appeals to those who value period-correct handling and a buildable platform that can be tuned or upgraded for club racing or display.
