Tamiya 47438 1/10 Super Storm Dragon Off-Road Racer - Hornet Chassis, Pre-Cut and Pre-Painted Body  [47438]

Super Storm Dragon returns for modern builders

For fans who love classic RC lore and the charm of old-school comics, the Tamiya Super Storm Dragon 47438 offers a hands-on trip back to that golden era. This release combines the model's nostalgic silhouette with updated kit components, giving hobbyists a chance to assemble a tribute to the original R/C Boy appearance while enjoying current build standards.

Classic looks with chassis proven in the field

Beneath the pre-cut, pre-painted polycarbonate shell sits the Hornet chassis, known for its lightweight, rigid layout. The ABS plastic bathtub frame and strong suspension arms make the car more than a display piece. Front coil-sprung independent swing axles and a rear rolling rigid axle fitted with oil dampers help the car stay composed across rough ground, and the sealed rear differential keeps grit out of the drivetrain.

What to expect on the trail

This kit ships with a 540 brushed motor and an included ESC, ready for trail runs once you add a 2-channel radio, steering servo, and a 7.2V battery with charger. The three-piece wheels, grooved front tyres and aggressive spiked rear tyres deliver balanced traction, making the build satisfying for newcomers and rewarding for experienced tuners.

The Tamiya Super Storm Dragon 47438 mixes period-correct styling with practical mechanics, making it a great choice for anyone wanting a build that looks the part and can handle off-road practice runs.
