Saint Dragon Premium: Retro Looks with Contemporary Chassis

The Tamiya 18071 - 1/32 JR Saint Dragon Premium brings the familiar Saint Dragon profile to the VS chassis platform. This reissue preserves the nostalgic lines from the 1989 original while offering the benefits of updated Mini 4WD component design. The kit's shell arrives in Pearl White and is paired with Fluorescent Orange wheels for an eye catching finish.

Build Characteristics and Racing Use

The VS chassis is designed to be lightweight and compact, promoting stable handling and efficient acceleration on the track. Produced in Metallic Gray ABS, the chassis accepts a variety of aftermarket upgrades to suit race tuning. Included components are low friction rollers and a Type 130 motor, and the 4.2:1 gearing is oriented toward competitive race settings.

Personalisation and Spare Parts

Customisers will appreciate the updated sticker sheet for visual tweaks, and separate Grade-Up Parts are offered to enhance durability or performance. The model works well both as a display piece and as a baseline for serious tuning projects within club racing rules.

Yes, the VS chassis layout supports many standard upgrade parts from Tamiya, including rollers, bearings and motor options, making it easy to tailor the car to your setup preferences.
Regular cleaning of the gears, re-lubrication of moving parts and checking roller alignment will keep the car performing well. Inspect tyres and rollers after sessions to catch wear early.
Yes, you can build the kit as a static model for display, leaving out the motor and running gear or installing them for a completed running model depending on your intention.
The kit includes a newly designed sticker sheet to help recreate the Saint Dragon livery or to add your own custom graphics during assembly.
