Clean White Makeover for a Proven Off-Roader

Among RC off-road buggies, the classic Dark Impact has earned a loyal following. The 1/10 scale Tamiya 84400 - Dark Impact White Edition refreshes that reputation with a full white finish while retaining the rugged DF-03 platform for dependable trail and track use.

Balance, Layout and Handling

This White Edition keeps performance front of mind with a mid-rear mounted motor and a battery laid out longitudinally for better balance on landings. The battery inserts from the chassis bottom for simple service, and the shaft-drive 4WD plus double wishbone suspension with extra-long arms give predictable stability on uneven surfaces.

Distinct Styling and Traction

The model is notable for molded white components and updated decal colours that modernise the original Dark Impact look. It rides on large dish wheels fitted with Dual Block Tires Type K, whose dense pin spike pattern improves traction on loose dirt and gravel.

The Tamiya 84400 - 1/10 Dark Impact White Edition is a solid pick for builders who want a mix of reliable DF-03 performance and a collector-friendly white finish.

Assembly is straightforward for someone comfortable with basic tools; parts are modular and the DF-03 layout is well documented, making step-by-step builds manageable.
The design accepts a standard longitudinal battery pack, commonly a 7.2V stick pack or equivalent compact NiMH or LiPo pack that fits the DF-03 tray.
Yes, the Dual Block Tires Type K with pin spike tread deliver strong bite on loose and soft surfaces, though harder-packed tracks may benefit from alternate compounds.
This is a kit version, so you should budget for a motor, ESC, servo, receiver and battery/charger, as those items are not included.
