Tamiya 58334 Rising Storm 1/10 DF-02 Off-Road Buggy  [58334]

Overview of the Tamiya 58334 Rising Storm

The Tamiya 58334 Rising Storm is a solid 1/10 scale buggy built on the dependable DF-02 chassis. It balances durability and tunability to suit drivers who want an accessible yet capable off-road racer that responds well to setup changes.

DF-02 Chassis and Drive Layout

The DF-02 chassis is valued for rugged construction and predictable handling. Its shaft-driven 4WD spreads power evenly to all wheels, while the longitudinal motor and battery placement lower the centre of gravity for improved stability during corners and jumps.

Body Styling and Upgrade Paths

The Rising Storm features a distinctive body with an aerodynamic tail wing and air intakes that help with cooling and looks. Pre-marked cut-lines simplify fitting optional parts such as the TT-01 Aluminum Motor Heat Sink (Item 53664) for better thermal control.

Suspension, Bearings and Steering

Front and rear oil dampers provide controlled rebound and soak up rough terrain, and the semi-bearing drivetrain with eight ball bearings reduces friction for smoother acceleration. The turn-buckle shaft steering linkage lets you fine-tune toe settings for crisper handling.

The Tamiya 58334 Rising Storm is a versatile kit that fits a wide range of skill levels. With a robust chassis and common upgrade paths, it is a great starting point for off-road racing or honing setup skills.
