Tamiya 84162 1/10 Buggy Champ Gold Edition Kit  [84162]

Golden Classic: Tamiya Buggy Champ Reborn

The Tamiya 84162 - 1/10 RC Buggy Champ (2009) Gold Edition highlights Tamiya's mix of heritage and practical engineering. This special gold-bodied release gives collectors and builders a faithful recreation of an iconic 1/10 off-road racer with components suited to real hobby use.

Heritage With Real-World Scale

First seen in 1979, the Buggy Champ has earned a reputation for rugged construction and a memorable silhouette. The 2009 Gold Edition preserves that character at a 1/10 scale, delivering a balance of period styling and tunable handling for track or backyard running.

Robust Chassis Design

The chassis uses a 2mm FRP plate reinforced by aluminium for added stiffness where it counts. The 4-wheel independent suspension with die-cast arms and oil dampers helps the car absorb bumps while maintaining predictable steering input. Full ball bearings are fitted throughout to lower drivetrain drag and improve long-term reliability.

Tuneability and Protection

This kit supports two gear choices, 6.5G1 or 9.3G1, so you can trade acceleration for top speed depending on your setup. A clear protective case keeps the R/C components free from dust and grit during aggressive runs and makes routine checks easier.

The Tamiya 84162 Buggy Champ Gold Edition suits collectors who value authenticity and racers who need a straightforward, upgrade-friendly platform for off-road sessions.
