Revisiting the Top-Force Legacy

Introduced in 1991 as a landmark model, the Top-Force earned attention for its low centre of gravity and race-oriented handling. The 2005 reissue preserved those core traits while refining the build to suit contemporary hobbyists and weekend competitors.

Built for Impact and Airflow

The aerodynamic shell is paired with protected internals to resist damage. Sealed gearboxes at both ends are sandwiched between 2mm FRP plates, producing a compact, tough drivetrain arrangement that stands up to rough terrain.

Robust Drive and Tunable Suspension

Driveforce is shared via a hard propeller shaft and front/rear ball differentials, delivering stable traction. The double wishbone suspension and four CVA dampers provide a broad tuning range so you can adapt handling for jumps, bumps or tight circuits.

Completing the Kit

The Tamiya 58362 Top-Force comes as a kit that rewards careful assembly. Required items include a 2-channel radio with servos, a 6-cell battery using a standard Tamiya connector, an AC/DC charger, polycarbonate paints for the bodyshell and standard modelling tools.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Drivetrain: 4WD
  • Suspension: Double wishbone with CVA dampers
  • Chassis Material: 2mm FRP plates
  • Transmission: Hard propeller shaft with ball differentials

With a mix of nostalgia and tuneability, the Tamiya 58362 Top-Force is well suited to hobbyists who want a durable platform to modify for recreational racing or club events.

CVA dampers are fine for general use, but swapping to oil shocks can improve consistency and control on very rough or high speed tracks.
Yes. The kit accepts aftermarket motors and ESCs, but check fitment and gearing to ensure cooling and drivetrain longevity.
The modular gearbox layout and access panels make servicing straightforward; driveshafts and diffs can be replaced without a full strip down.
Use polycarbonate-specific spray paints for flexible coverage that resists cracking, and mask areas for neat trim lines.
