Tamiya 47442 - 1/10 Terra Scorcher 2020 Heritage Off-Road Kit  [47442]

Classic Buggy Reissued: Tamiya 47442 - 1/10 Terra Scorcher 2020

The Tamiya 47442 - 1/10 Terra Scorcher 2020 celebrates a long-running off-road legacy with a faithful retro look refreshed for current builders. First launched in 1988, this limited edition keeps the original character while adding practical updates that improve longevity and on-track performance.

Contemporary Upgrades on a Vintage Chassis

The core of the Terra Scorcher 2020 is a sturdy 4WD chassis that shares its platform with the re-issued Fire Dragon. Power is transferred via a shaft-driven drivetrain using universal joints and three-bevel gear differentials housed in sealed gearboxes. Full ball bearings are fitted to reduce friction and extend service life.

Tuned Suspension and Cornering

Suspension duties are handled by a double wishbone layout with upper I-arms and lower H-arms, complemented by CVA oil dampers. Adjustable upper arms let you fine-tune geometry for different surfaces, and front and rear stabilizers help keep handling predictable during aggressive driving.

Assembly Needs and Paint Options

This is an assembly kit that includes an ESC but requires extra items such as a 2-channel radio, steering servo, and a 7.2-volt battery pack with appropriate charger. The polycarbonate body accepts Tamiya PS paints for custom finishes and detailing.

For collectors and active hobbyists alike, the Tamiya 47442 - 1/10 Terra Scorcher 2020 balances classic aesthetics with solid engineering, making it a satisfying build and a dependable off-road performer.
