Product Description of the Tamiya Top Force 2017 kit

The Tamiya Top Force 2017 kit returns a legend to the dirt with its Limited Edition styling and race-inspired engineering. This Tamiya 1/10 4WD buggy TAM47350 features a low, wedge-shaped polycarbonate body shell complete with rear wing flaps and underbody cowling for true ’90s authenticity. Beneath the shell, a practical Tamiya FRP double deck chassis buggy frames all components low on the lower deck, ensuring a centre of gravity perfectly balanced for dynamic cornering and stability on uneven terrain.

Key features of the Tamiya Top Force 2017 kit

• Retro wedge-body design – iconic styling with modern durability
• Square-spike tyres – deliver maximum traction on dirt, grass and gravel
• Built-in underbody cowling – shields drivetrain from debris
• Adjustable upper suspension arms – dial in perfect camber settings
• Marking stickers included – personalise your Limited Edition livery

How does the Tamiya FRP double deck chassis buggy enhance handling?

By mounting electronics and drivetrain components on a double-deck FRP frame, the Tamiya FRP double deck chassis buggy achieves a low centre of gravity that resists roll and keeps tyres planted through fast sweeps. The rigid FRP plate flexes only where you want it, providing controlled chassis compliance that translates to confident high-speed cornering and smooth transitions over obstacles.

What benefits does the Tamiya 4-wheel independent suspension offer?

The Tamiya 4-wheel independent suspension employs double-wishbone geometry with oil dampers and three selectable spring tensions. Each wheel moves in isolation, so square-spike tyres maintain consistent grip and rebound even on rough park layouts. Builders can fine-tune ride height and shock angle to match any surface, from high-grip schoolyard tarmac to loose off-road trails.

Why choose this Tamiya Brushed motor off-road buggy for nostalgic thrills?

The included 540-type Tamiya Brushed motor off-road buggy provides linear torque that’s perfect for controlled slides and rapid acceleration. Paired with front and rear precision-made ball differentials, this setup delivers an authentic vintage driving experience—no electronic wizardry needed, just pure mechanical excitement under throttle.

Retro styling with modern reliability

Beyond its iconic silver body and white star-dish wheels, the Tamiya Top Force Limited Edition integrates robust roll-cage geometry and underguard protection for today’s drivers. Clear-cut assembly instructions guide hobbyists through every step, while full ball bearings and metal steering-arm bearings ensure long-term durability without sacrificing nostalgia.

Is the Tamiya Top Force 2017 kit suitable for collectors and racers?

Absolutely. As the best Tamiya 1/10 scale electric buggy for racing, this Limited Edition reissue appeals to enthusiasts who value both display quality and track-ready capability. Its modular design welcomes hop-ups, from brushless motors to adjustable steering links, making it an affordable Tamiya off-road buggy for collectors and weekend warriors alike.

Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
• If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
• We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
• As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
