Launched in 1991 to celebrate Tamiya's 100th R/C release, the Top-Force quickly earned a reputation among racers for its low-slung stance and handling. The 2005 reissue of the model brings back the original 4WD layout while adding refinements that make the Tamiya 58362 appeal to modern builders and club racers alike.
The body combines aerodynamic lines with practical protection. Front and rear sealed gearboxes sit snugly between sturdy 2mm FRP plates, giving the chassis a rugged layout that resists wear during aggressive off-road runs.
Power is routed through a hard propeller shaft and front/rear ball differentials for predictable traction. The double wishbone suspension paired with four CVA dampers gives a wide tune range so drivers can dial in ride height and damping for different surfaces.
The Tamiya 58362 Top-Force is a rewarding kit build. To finish it you will need a 2-channel radio and servos, a 6-cell battery with the standard Tamiya connector, an AC/DC charger, polycarbonate paint for the shell, and basic modelling tools. Building the kit helps you learn setup and maintenance hands on.
The Tamiya 58362 Top-Force suits builders who like hands-on assembly and adjustable handling. Its classic geometry and durable layout make it a solid platform for upgrades and club-level competition.
