Retro Performance: The Tamiya Fire Dragon Returns

The Tamiya Fire Dragon 47457-60A offers a retro 1/10 scale off-road experience. Its period styling and accessible engineering make it a good match for hobbyists who enjoy hands-on builds and reliable running behaviour.

Solid Base with Room to Improve

The kit combines a polycarbonate shell with an ABS chassis to keep weight manageable while protecting internals. Its 540-brushed motor and fully independent double wishbone suspension provide stable traction on mixed surfaces and respond well to tuning.

Why Builders Choose This Classic

Compared to more sophisticated racers, the Fire Dragon keeps things simple and serviceable. That makes it easier to maintain between sessions and reduces the learning curve for new builders while still offering enjoyable driving dynamics.

Practical Tuning Tips

Installing metal bearings and fitting quality shock oil are effective first steps for improving durability and handling. Since the ESC is not included, choose a brushed ESC with suitable current rating and cooling to match your intended battery pack.
