Re-release of a Commemorative R/C Model
The Top-Force R/C assembly kit, originally produced in 1991, commemorated Tamiya's 100th R/C product release. Lessons learned in actual race events, incorporated into this buggy kit, include features such as the low, wedge-shaped body, large rear wing with built-in flaps, and polycarbonate underbody cowling. The 2017 and 2024 edition kits include square spike tires that give the Top-Force excellent traction on any surface.

Race-Ready Off-Road Buggy
The simple and practical FRP double deck frame sees components mounted on the lower deck for a low center of gravity. Both front and rear gearboxes, equipped with precision-made ball differentials, give limited slip diff. effect, and provide formidable cornering ability. Hard propeller shaft, and universal shafts increase power transmission efficiency for faster laps around the park. The suspension system features adjustable upper arms that allow camber angle customization and metal bearings in the steering arms ensure sharp steering response.
