Carrying the DNA of the Super Champ era, the Tamiya 84389 Fighting Buggy returns with styling cues from the original and mechanical updates to suit current drivers. The remake aims to be both a showpiece and a practical off-road runner.
The ABS body replicates the original silhouette while the aluminium roof panel and rear wing add stiffness and a more authentic appearance. The fresh sticker set references the vintage scheme with sharper printing for display-ready builds.
Underneath, the 2.5mm FRP chassis provides a stable platform for independent suspension. Front double trailing arms offer predictable bite, while the rear transverse damper with a separate oil chamber and progressive spring helps absorb bigger hits.
A sealed die-cast gear case protects the direct drive system built for a 540-brushed motor. Ribbed front tyres paired with spike rear tyres on three-piece wheels deliver reliable traction and make tyre changes straightforward for different surfaces.
The Tamiya 84389 Fighting Buggy balances nostalgic styling with functional improvements, making it a solid choice for modellers who want to both display and run their RC buggy.
