Tamiya 47381 - 1/10 Super Astute (2018) Special Edition Off-Road Favourite  [47381]

Revived Icon: Tamiya Super Astute Back in Production

The Super Astute earned a reputation in the early 90s for precise handling and race-inspired engineering. The Tamiya 47381 reissue pays tribute to that legacy, combining the classic layout with carefully chosen upgrades to handle modern running conditions.

Durable FRP Chassis Designed for Aggressive Driving

The 2.5mm FRP chassis provides a strong, low platform that supports aggressive cornering and quick transitions. Its rigidity is aimed at maintaining balance under higher loads seen in competitive off-road use.

Sealed Gearbox and TTC Slipper for Reliable Power Delivery

Keeping the sealed gearbox helps protect internals, while the TTC slipper clutch moderates torque spikes and reduces wear. The result is smoother throttle control and longer component life when you push hard off the line.

Suspension Tuning and Tyre Choice for Tough Tracks

The double wishbone suspension paired with CVA oil dampers absorbs rough terrain effectively. The front rib-spike and rear square spike tyres give a blend of steering precision and rear traction suitable for varied off-road surfaces.

Whether the goal is club competition or a period build, the Super Astute combines a race-oriented chassis with practical modern refinements for reliable off-road fun.
