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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
