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.
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.
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.
