A classic shell reissued for practical use

The Tamiya Super Storm Dragon 47438 recalls the classic comic-era styling while delivering a buildable kit that fits modern hobby routines. It is aimed at builders who want the look of a vintage racer with components that hold up in regular runs.

Durable construction under a nostalgic body

The white, pre-painted polycarbonate body mounts to the Hornet chassis which provides a rigid but light platform. The ABS bathtub frame and hardy suspension arms are built for active use. The front employs coil-sprung independent swing axles and the rear features a rolling rigid axle with oil dampers, while the sealed rear differential helps keep internal parts clean.

Included hardware and running gear

This kit includes a 540 brushed motor and ESC; you will need a 2-channel radio, a steering servo and a 7.2V battery and charger to complete the setup. The three-piece wheels paired with grooved front tyres and high-grip rear spike tyres deliver predictable steering and traction for off-road sessions.

The Tamiya Super Storm Dragon 47438 pairs a beloved vintage look with sensible kit choices, offering a satisfying build and reliable performance for casual off-road running.

Basic modelling tools, hobby nippers, screwdrivers and modelling glue are sufficient. A hobby knife and fine files help for trimming parts and tuning fit.
Polycarbonate bodies are resilient to impacts; the pre-painted finish may show scratches, but the shell itself resists cracking when used within intended off-road conditions.
Periodic checks and light cleaning of the sealed rear differential will extend its life. Replace grease if contaminated and inspect gears for wear after heavy use.
Yes, but ensure the new motor and speed controller fit the tray and that gearing and battery choices match the increased power for reliable drivetrain behaviour.
