Classic Twin-Motor Design from the Tamiya 58309 Twin Detonator

The Tamiya 58309 Twin Detonator revives a twin-motor approach in a durable kit that appeals to hobbyists who enjoy hands-on tuning and bashing. It balances straightforward mechanics with rugged performance potential.

Two Type 540 Motors for Shared Torque

The twin Type 540 motors provide distributed drive that helps keep traction consistent across uneven terrain. A central battery layout complements the shaft-driven 4WD to stabilise weight transfer during aggressive runs.

Built Tough with Accessible Maintenance

The robust monocoque frame secures the internal gear-train and simplifies maintenance. Double wishbone suspension on all corners helps absorb impacts, while pre-assembled gearboxes make routine servicing quicker.

Rugged Details and Functional Styling

The polycarbonate body sits over a metal-plated roll bar and rides on large tyres designed for grip and obstacle clearance, giving a look that matches its intended use.

Yes, use polycarbonate-specific paints and trimming tools; mask carefully to keep mounting points clear.
Hobbyists often fit higher torque motors, metal gear sets and upgraded shocks to improve durability and handling.
The 2,360g weight gives stability but can reduce nimbleness; lighter batteries and tyre choices influence agility.
The stock 18.3:1 gearing leans toward torque; altering pinion and spur sizes will shift the balance between speed and pulling power.
