Originally launched in 1986 to celebrate a milestone, the Bigwig combined designer flair and distinctive visuals. The Tamiya 47330 reissue keeps that classic identity while incorporating useful refinements so hobbyists can run it confidently on varied off-road surfaces.
This model features rack and pinion steering, a rare inclusion for its era that provides crisp control. The polycarbonate body preserves the original aerodynamic lines while being tough enough for active track use, and period stickers reinforce the vintage look.
The ABS resin bathtub chassis supports a shaft-driven 4WD system with full ball bearings to reduce power loss. A 4-wheel double wishbone suspension with CVA oil dampers helps the Bigwig absorb bumps and hold composure over stones, ruts and compact dirt.
Equipped with a GT-Tuned 25T motor, the kit offers dependable performance out of the box. Aerodish 1-piece wheels and oval block tyres give steady grip, and builders can accommodate ESCs up to 22mm tall in the stock position for upgraded electronics.
The Tamiya Bigwig 47330 combines classic aesthetics with practical improvements that make it a dependable choice for hobbyists who enjoy both collecting and active off-road running.
