Tamiya's Fighting Buggy Comes Back to Life

The Tamiya 47304 Fighting Buggy, an icon from the early 1980s, returns as a special re-release. Known internationally as the Super Champ, this kit holds a special place with hobbyists who love classic RC design. This edition revives the original character while adding subtle updates that keep the nostalgic look intact.

Key Upgrades for Better Durability

While staying true to the original Fighting Buggy layout, this re-release adds practical improvements for modern use. The chassis is now fitted with a 2.5mm FRP plate to boost rigidity without adding unnecessary weight. New decal sheets refresh the livery while honoring the model's heritage.

Suspension Tuned for Classic Handling

The rear transverse damper setup remains, complete with a progressive spring and a separate oil reserve tank for consistent damping on rough surfaces. Up front the double trailing arm arrangement preserves the vintage suspension geometry that owners expect from this model.

Driving Feel: Retro Character with Modern Tweaks

The gearbox-driven 2WD RWD layout delivers the authentic driving dynamics of the original Fighting Buggy. Ribbed front tyres and pin spike rear tyres mounted on three-piece wheels give the buggy traction across dirt and grass. Overall, the reissue keeps the original spirit while making it more durable for today's off-road use.

The Tamiya 47304 Fighting Buggy is a strong pick for collectors and backyard racers who want vintage style with sensible upgrades for today's terrain.

The Fighting Buggy is more of a classic-style kit than a purpose-built racer. With careful setup and modern electronics, it can be made competitive on slower club tracks, but it shines as a fun off-road model rather than a top-tier racer.
A 540 brushed motor fits the supplied gearbox, paired with a compact brushed ESC and a 2.4GHz radio and servo. If you prefer more speed, check motor dimensions before upgrading to brushless setups.
The body is provided in ABS plastic and requires trimming, painting and application of the supplied stickers. The decals are new designs that nod to the original livery.
Avoid prolonged impacts and inspect mounting points after heavy runs. You can add lightweight protection plates or reinforce shock mounts if you plan to run on very rough terrain.
