Restore Original Ride Quality with Tamiya Torsion Bars

For anyone maintaining classic buggies, serviceable suspension parts are essential. The Tamiya 9401428 Torsion Bar Bag supplies the replacement bars needed to bring the Buggy Champ and Sand Scorcher back towards their intended handling characteristics.

Purpose Built for Buggy Champ and Sand Scorcher

These torsion bars are made to match the original design of the two chassis, helping preserve wheel control and balance. Using the correct bars avoids unintended chassis sag or uneven response during cornering and rough driving.

Installation Tips and Notes

Fitting the kit is a practical upgrade that requires just basic workshop skills. Keep track of any shims or spacers during removal and reassembly to maintain alignment and avoid unwanted binding in the suspension.

Will these torsion bars change ride height?

They are designed to match the original spring characteristics, so major ride height changes are unlikely. Small differences can occur if bars are fitted incorrectly or if other suspension parts are worn.

Can I use aftermarket shocks with these bars?

Yes, you can pair torsion bars with modern shocks as long as the shock mounting and travel remain compatible with the chassis layout. Test set up on a bench before full running.

How do I check if a torsion bar needs replacing?

Look for bending, cracks or inconsistent resistance when flexing the bar. If the car leans excessively on one side or the ride feels sloppy, replacement is advisable.

Are spare parts available separately?

Some small components like retaining clips or pins may be sold separately. Check with suppliers for individual spare parts if only minor hardware is missing.
