Description

The Tamiya Thunder Dragon RC Buggy brings a famous edgy style from the eighties back to the dirt with a high-energy 4WD project. This RC Buggy utilises a reliable shaft-driven system that sends power through durable die-cast differentials to ensure you find grip on loose gravel or backyard grass. You will feel the stability of the mid-mounted motor layout as it keeps the centre of gravity low while you send the car into sideways slides through every tight corner.

Navigating technical tracks is straightforward thanks to the sophisticated double wishbone suspension and high-performance spiked tyres that find purchase on any surface. The pre-painted silver polycarbonate shell allows you to skip the base coats and start applying the racing stickers immediately to create a striking custom look. Every run provides a connected feel as the front stabiliser works with the oil-filled shocks to keep the chassis level across bumpy ground.
