Tamiya 1/10 Fire Dragon 2020 4WD Electric Off Road RC Buggy Kit

A Blast From The Past

The Fire Dragon was the machine used by the main character of the manga series "Radicon Boy" and was first released as an R/C model back in 1989. Featuring a unique body styling and parts for a driver figure, this colourful buggy is a great way for beginners to get started with this hobby and veterans of R/C to remind themselves of their childhood years. This updated re-release edition incorporates some updated parts to improve durability.

User-Friendly 4WD Drivetrain

Durable chassis features a motor mounted amidships, which powers all four wheels via a shaft drive system. The simple, yet effective, the suspension is made up of upper I-arms and lower H-arms for an efficient double-wishbone setup. CVA oil dampers at all four corners help absorb shocks from rough terrain while differential gears in the front and rear gearboxes help put the power to the ground smoothly.

The stylish, streamlined body features distinctive flared sides. It is pre-painted in red and pre-cut for convenience.

CVA mini oil dampers are employed on the front suspension. A stabilizer helps combat roll in corners for a stable drive.

A polycarbonate dust cover for the chassis helps protect the working parts from the potentially damaging effects of dust and dirt.

The Fire Dragon's rear suspension also features CVA oil dampers (short type), for smooth and consistent suspension stroke.
