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

Tamiya 58334 Rising Storm Brief

The Tamiya 58334 Rising Storm is a well-rounded 1/10 buggy mounted on the DF-02 platform. It targets modelers who want a reliable base for club nights, backyard bashing, or stepping into entry-level competition.

Chassis Traits and Power Delivery

Built around the DF-02 chassis, this buggy uses a shaft-driven 4WD system for even torque distribution. The motor and battery sit lengthwise to help lower the centre of gravity, which aids stability when cornering and landing jumps.

Shell Features and Install Options

The body includes an aerodynamic tail section and intake areas to assist airflow. Cut-lines are pre-marked to make fitting optional items like the TT-01 Aluminum Motor Heat Sink (Item 53664) straightforward for those wanting better thermal performance.

Handling Components and Drivetrain

Oil dampers at both ends tame rough ground and soak up landings, while the semi-bearing drivetrain with eight ball bearings reduces drivetrain loss for smoother throttle response. The turn-buckle shaft steering gives precise toe adjustment for sharper tracks.

The Tamiya 58334 Rising Storm makes a good practice and upgrade platform. Its durable DF-02 layout and common hop-up routes are well suited to hobbyists focused on setup and performance tuning.
