Introducing the Tamiya 58334 Rising Storm Buggy

The Tamiya 58334 Rising Storm brings 1/10 scale off-road capability on the proven DF-02 chassis. It targets modelers seeking a dependable, serviceable buggy that is easy to set up and upgrade for better lap times.

Why the DF-02 Chassis Works

The DF-02 platform is noted for ruggedness and balanced dynamics. Its shaft-driven 4WD layout ensures reliable traction across varied surfaces, and the longitudinal motor and battery layout lower the centre of gravity for steadier handling at speed.

Body Design and Hop-Up Options

The Rising Storm body sports an aerodynamic tail wing and intake areas that improve airflow and styling. Pre-marked cut-lines make installing optional parts like the TT-01 Aluminum Motor Heat Sink (Item 53664) quick and precise for thermal improvements.

Key Performance Details

High-quality front and rear oil dampers help the buggy absorb bumps and landings, while the semi-bearing drivetrain using eight ball bearings reduces drivetrain drag. The turn-buckle shaft steering linkage enables accurate toe settings for predictable cornering.

Yes, you can install a brushless motor if the can size and mounting align with the Type-540 footprint and the ESC and battery are compatible with available space and gearing.
Regularly check bearings, shock oil and chassis screws. Clean dust from pistons and drivetrain, and inspect for worn parts after heavy runs to maintain consistent handling.
Replacement parts and hop-ups for the DF-02 platform are widely available, making repairs and upgrades straightforward for sustained use.
