Classic Return: Tamiya Buggy Champ 2009 Reissue

The Tamiya 58441_2 Buggy Champ 2009 is a tribute to the golden era of RC racing, first introduced in 1979. This reissue marks the 30th anniversary of the original, keeping its period-correct appearance while adding targeted upgrades. Its front double trailing arms and rear torsion setup deliver the vintage handling that appeals to collectors and weekend racers alike.

Chassis and Suspension Details

The kit uses a faithful chassis layout with a 2mm thick FRP main frame reinforced by a duralumin plate for added rigidity. Newly designed die-cast front and rear suspension arms improve durability, and a clear waterproof case protects the electronics. Full ball bearings are fitted to promote smooth drivetrain operation on varied terrain.

Bodywork and Presentation

The 1/10 scale assembly kit comes with a plain white plastic body that is straightforward to paint and personalise. The nostalgic blister pack presentation mirrors the original release, and a type 540 motor is included so the model is mechanically ready out of the box for modern driving sessions.
