Description

This limited re-release is now discontinued and there are no plans to reproduce it in the future, sorry guys

The Fighting Buggy was originally exported as the Super Champ in 1982 across the globe. For a limited time only, it is back as a special re-release celebrating 30-plus years after it originally made its debut in hobby stores.

The re-release kit begins with a new name, which is the same as that used by the original Japanese release of the R/C model. While it features a variety of tweaks and upgrades, Tamiya’s designers made sure to retain the drivability, appearance and characteristics of the original.

• The classic body of the original is reproduced in durable ABS resin with an aluminium roof panel with wing.
• Newly-designed stickers retain many of the themes of the classic model while also adding some new motifs.
• New lightweight and durable 2.5mm thick FRP chassis plate.
• Newly-designed parts recreate original transverse damper rear suspension setup with progressive spring and separate oil reserve tank.
• Front suspension is double trailing arm type.
• Front/rear suspension arms are die-cast.
• Employs durable die-cast sealed gear case with direct drive setup, which also houses the motor.
• Ribbed front and rear spike tires. They are fitted securely to 3-piece wheels.
• Comes in nostalgic blister pack style packaging.
