Taming the track with the Tamiya 58628 DT-03 Racing Fighter

The Tamiya 58628 DT-03 Racing Fighter brings Tamiya quality to a 1/10 scale off-road platform. Built on the durable DT-03 chassis, this buggy has a long wheelbase and wide track that suit both newcomers and experienced drivers looking for a stable base to run at parks and club tracks. Its balance of robustness and simple layout makes it a practical choice for regular use and tuning.

Sturdy, race-ready construction

The body is formed from impact-resistant polycarbonate, featuring clean, boxy lines and a rear stabilising wing. The kit includes fresh decals so you can personalise the look. The monocoque-style DT-03 chassis positions the battery and radio gear centrally, improving weight distribution and predictable handling.

Features that help you perform

This Racing Fighter ships with a torque-tuned motor and CVA oil dampers to help deliver controlled acceleration and compliant suspension travel. The double wishbone suspension works with ribbed fronts and square-spike rear tyres to maintain traction across loose surfaces. A sealed rear gearbox with an internal differential helps smooth corner exits and keeps grit away from gears.

Easy to upgrade and maintain

The DT-03 layout offers straightforward upgrade paths, from motor swaps to suspension tweaks. A healthy selection of optional parts is available for those wanting to push performance or tailor handling to specific surfaces.

The Tamiya 58628 DT-03 Racing Fighter is a reliable, upgrade-friendly buggy that suits hobbyists who want durable construction and straightforward tuning options.

Assembly time varies by experience, but expect several evenings for a careful build including painting and electronics installation. New builders should allow extra time to learn the steps.
The chassis accepts common 1/10 LiPo packs or NiMH packs sized for the battery tray. Use the connector type that matches your ESC or fit an adapter if needed.
Upgrading tyres, tuning damper oil, and fitting a higher torque or brushless motor typically deliver the most noticeable performance changes for track and off-road use.
Keep the gearbox seals clean, check driveshafts for play, and inspect damper shafts for bends. Regular cleaning after dusty runs preserves bearings and gears.
