Super Sabre Returns with Practical Upgrades
The legendary Tamiya Super Sabre makes a careful comeback, blending the spirit of the 1987 original with tidy modern updates. This iteration keeps the user-friendly appeal of a beginner kit while offering a pre-cut, pre-painted silver polycarbonate shell for quick setup and great looks.
Classic Styling with Shaft-Driven 4WD
The Super Sabre pairs its retro silhouette with a shaft-driven 4WD layout to deliver predictable handling and traction. The 0.7mm polycarbonate body is resilient on rough surfaces and includes a separate rear wing to help with stability at speed.
Robust Running Gear and Serviceability
Ride control comes from a fully independent double wishbone suspension and CVA short dampers II, giving consistent feedback across varied terrain. A front stabilizer enhances cornering balance, while the ABS bathtub chassis and strengthened components simplify repairs and extend service life.
How It Differs from Related Models
Related Tamiya designs share many mechanical elements, but the Super Sabre sets itself apart with distinct body and damper stay shapes. Those styling and mounting differences affect airflow and shock placement, so choose the model that fits your setup goals.
Ready for Builders and Collectors
The kit suits people assembling their first buggy as well as collectors wanting an authentic retro build. The specification lists a 540 brushed motor; note that an electronic speed control is not supplied, so plan for compatible electronics to complete the car.
