Few models carry the same cult status in RC as the Buggy Champ. First launched in 1979, the Tamiya Buggy Champ 84187 returned in 2009 as a Silver Edition that blends vintage lines with practical modern upgrades. The silver finish gives this classic a refreshed look while preserving its original silhouette.
The Tamiya Buggy Champ 84187 uses a 1/10 scale layout built on a 2mm thick FRP plate with aluminium reinforcement to handle rough terrain. Its front double trailing arm setup and rear torsion bars deliver predictable handling and resilience during bumpy runs.
Equipped with full ball bearings to cut friction and semi-pneumatic tyres with block tread for grip, this kit balances durability and performance. Two gear ratio options, 4.6:1 or 3.7:1, let you tune acceleration versus top speed depending on track conditions.
This Silver Edition of the Buggy Champ is well suited to both collectors chasing a period-correct rebuild and hobbyists who want a tough 2WD platform to run on dirt or grass.
