Tamiya 58309 Twin Detonator in a 1/10 Twin-Motor Layout

The Tamiya 58309 Twin Detonator combines a classic twin-motor concept with a sturdy build for hobbyists who like hands-on setup and solid traction. It is aimed at pilots who run on mixed outdoor surfaces.

Front and Rear Type 540 Motors for Traction

This model uses two Type 540 motors mounted at each end to improve drive balance and grip. The shaft-driven full-time 4WD system spreads torque to all wheels while the battery position helps maintain stable handling.

Robust Frame and Shock Absorbing Suspension

The monocoque chassis shelters the gear-train and is engineered for longevity. The double wishbone suspension at all four corners soaks up bumps, and the pre-assembled gearboxes make inspections and repairs less fiddly.

Functional Looks with Practical Components

The polycarbonate body sits over a metal-plated roll bar and sits on large-diameter tyres that provide the clearance and cushioning needed for rough tracks and park runs.

The Tamiya 58309 Twin Detonator is a practical choice for modders and club-level bashing, offering a simple platform for upgrades and reliable off-road behaviour.

Larger, open-pattern tyres with a softer compound help traction on grass and loose surfaces; foam inserts can improve stability.
Yes, the chassis accepts standard Type 540 compatible electronics; check mounting space and servo dimensions before buying.
Open the pre-assembled units to inspect wear, clean old grease and apply fresh gear grease to maintain smooth operation.
Upgrading to better dampers can improve control on rough tracks, though stock suspension handles general bashing well.
