Gold Body, Tough Running Gear

The Tamiya 84162 - 1/10 RC Buggy Champ (2009) Gold Edition pairs a showy gold shell with mechanical parts built for real use. It gives builders a platform that looks the part while remaining practical for dirt and grass runs.

Proven History in a Practical Scale

Since its 1979 debut the Buggy Champ has been known for straightforward durability. The 1/10 scale Gold Edition keeps that straightforward approach while making parts accessible for upgrades and repairs.

Chassis Strength and Handling

A 2mm FRP chassis plate reinforced with aluminium gives the layout the stiffness needed for high-speed sections. The 4-wheel independent suspension with die-cast arms and oil dampers is designed to keep the tyres planted, and full ball bearings cut drivetrain losses for cleaner power delivery.

Setup Choices and Dust Protection

Choose between the supplied 6.5G1 or 9.3G1 gear ratios to suit your local track or open fields. The clear protective cover shields the electronics from dirt and makes routine servicing quicker between runs.

Yes, for loose sand choose broader paddled or scoop-style tyres and consider gearing down to reduce overheating under load.
The platform supports common performance upgrades like improved dampers, stronger drive shafts and alternative motor mounts with minor modifications.
Regular bearing cleaning, dampers inspection and gearbox checks will preserve performance and extend component life.
