Classic Buggy Champ Returns in a Silver Livery

Recognised by collectors and racers alike, the Buggy Champ made its debut in 1979 and was thoughtfully reissued as the Tamiya Buggy Champ 84187 in 2009. This Silver Edition keeps the nostalgic profile while offering solid mechanical updates for modern hobby use.

Robust Build with Traditional Suspension Layout

The chassis features a 2mm FRP base reinforced with aluminium to provide stiffness without excess weight. The combination of front double trailing arms and rear torsion bars gives a reliable balance of compliance and control on rough ground.

Reliable Running Gear and Tuning Options

Full ball bearings reduce drivetrain friction and semi-pneumatic block tyres deliver confident grip over loose sections. With selectable gear ratios of 4.6:1 or 3.7:1, you can tailor acceleration and top-end speed to your style.

This kit appeals to modellers wanting a faithful period build and to drivers seeking a straightforward 2WD buggy that can be upgraded and maintained over time.

Apply protective tape to high-wear areas and check mounting hardware regularly; aluminium reinforcement helps, but routine inspection extends service life.
Lower ratio gearing like 4.6:1 will give stronger acceleration out of tight corners, while 3.7:1 favours higher top speed on more open circuits.
Yes, the clear assembly layout and availability of parts make it a popular candidate for faithful restorations or creative rebuilds.
Keep tyres clean from embedded debris and rotate them occasionally to promote even wear; consider foam inserts or different compounds for longer life.
