Saint Dragon returns: classic silhouette updated for modern trails

The Tamiya Saint Dragon 47459-60A brings back an 80s favourite with careful updates for today’s hobbyist. This limited reissue keeps the original character while offering durable components suited to off-road use, making it a strong pick for collectors and those who want a reliable kit to run and customise.

Powertrain and 4WD layout

The model uses a shaft-driven 4WD arrangement that feeds power through front and rear gearboxes into a lightweight bathtub chassis. That configuration balances toughness with manageable weight, and the suspension geometry uses upper "I" and lower "H" arms to maintain predictable handling over rough ground.

Pre-painted shell and decal options

The Saint Dragon ships with a pre-assembled, pre-painted body so you can get it on track quickly. A detailed sticker set is included to personalise the white shell and restore the model's period-correct look without extra painting work.

Suspension design built for rough tracks

This kit features a 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension fitted with CVA oil shock dampers for controlled movement over bumps. A front stabiliser bar improves cornering balance and the 3-bevel gear differentials contribute to smoother power transfer and traction on loose surfaces.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Drive Type: 4WD
  • Chassis Material: ABS Plastic
  • Motor: 540-type brushed
  • Suspension: 4-wheel independent double wishbone
  • Electronic Speed Control (ESC): Not Included

Whether you are restoring a classic or building a reliable runner for local bashing sessions, the Saint Dragon offers an authentic retro look with practical modern engineering. Its straightforward platform is friendly for upgrades and routine maintenance.

The body arrives pre-assembled and painted, but you will need to fit a steering servo, ESC, radio, and battery, then check gear mesh and suspension before running.
A 7.2V NiMH pack is the original fit, and many builders opt for a small 2S LiPo with a compatible brushed ESC. Confirm size fits the tub chassis and use a suitable BEC or high-torque servo for steering.
Spare parts and common upgrades like aluminium shocks, stronger driveshafts, and replacement gears are available from Tamiya and aftermarket suppliers to improve durability and handling.
Medium knobby off-road tyres or lightweight all-terrain tyres offer good traction across grass, dirt and hardpacked trails. Pick tyres that fit the stock wheel width to avoid rubbing.
