Description

This assembly kit creates a buggy inspired by the star vehicle of the classic 1980s Japanese comic "R/C Boy". The Super Dragon body was originally sold in 1989 as a spare body parts set; this is the first time it has been made available in a complete kit with a chassis. The body is pre-cut and pre-painted in white — only stickers are required to finish it. The lightweight and durable bathtub-type chassis is based on the proven rear-wheel drive platform of the legendary Hornet. Front swing-axle suspension with friction dampers and a rear rolling rigid axle setup with oil dampers provide excellent shock absorption, while a sealed gearbox keeps dust and dirt away from the differential. Three-piece wheels are paired with grooved front tyres and spike rear tyres for strong on- and off-road performance. The slimline polycarbonate body features stylish extended rear fenders inspired by dragon wings.
