First launched in 1991 to celebrate a milestone, the Top-Force became a landmark 4WD buggy for Tamiya. The 2005 re-release refreshed the package while keeping the original low centre of gravity that made the design stand out on rough terrain.
The Top-Force body is sculpted for airflow while protecting internal parts. Its sealed front and rear gearboxes are mounted between 2mm FRP plates, delivering a compact and robust drivetrain layout that holds up in rough running.
The drivetrain features a rigid propeller shaft with ball differentials front and rear to maintain balanced power delivery. The double wishbone setup with four CVA dampers gives a wide adjustment window so you can tune handling for loose dirt or compact tracks.
Building the Tamiya 58362 Top-Force is a rewarding project. You will need a 2-channel transmitter and servos, a 6-cell battery with a standard Tamiya connector, an AC/DC charger, polycarbonate paints for the shell and basic modelling tools to finish the car.
The Tamiya 58362 Top-Force is a great pick for builders who value a tuneable chassis and classic handling, offering a balance of nostalgia and practical upgrade potential.
