Fighting Buggy Reissue from Tamiya

The Tamiya 47304 Fighting Buggy is back as a special edition, reviving an early 80s classic that many modelers admire. Originally marketed abroad as the Super Champ, this re-release keeps the distinctive look that made it famous while adding practical updates for modern RC use.

Practical Reinforcements, Classic Look

This reissue retains the original silhouette but introduces useful updates. A 2.5mm FRP chassis plate increases structural toughness without compromising the lightweight feel. The new decal set refreshes the paint scheme while respecting the original design.

Classic Rear Damping, Familiar Front End

The transverse rear damper remains, fitted with a progressive spring and a separate oil reservoir to maintain consistent damping on bumpy tracks. The front uses a double trailing arm layout, preserving the handling traits enthusiasts expect.

Authentic Rear-Wheel Drive Experience

The gearbox-driven 2WD RWD configuration delivers the authentic handling of the classic Fighting Buggy. It runs ribbed front tyres and spike rear tyres on three-piece wheels, offering traction across loose terrain. The package keeps the vintage driving feel with improved component durability.

The Tamiya 47304 Fighting Buggy suits collectors and hands-on hobbyists who want classic aesthetics combined with enhancements that improve durability for regular off-road use.

The kit is set up for a 540 brushed motor. Fitting a brushless unit is possible but will require checking motor plate dimensions, pinion clearance and possibly different gearing to avoid overloading the drivetrain.
Inspect oil levels and seals regularly, and replace oil if damping feels inconsistent. The separate reserve tank helps, but seals and o-rings can wear and should be checked after heavy use.
The three-piece wheels and tyre types follow traditional dimensions for this class. Replacement tyres and inner foams are commonly available, but confirm size before ordering to ensure a proper fit.
Novice builders can complete the kit with patience. Guidance on shock oil, camber and toe settings helps tame the handling. Joining a local club or forum can speed up the learning curve.
