Tamiya 84389 1/10 Fighting Buggy 2014 SRB Chassis Kit - Retro Racer  [84389]

Heritage and Modern Upgrades of the Tamiya 84389 Fighting Buggy

Launched from the lineage of the Super Champ, the Tamiya 84389 Fighting Buggy returns with its vintage silhouette updated for current hobby standards. The remake preserves the model's original character while integrating improvements aimed at better durability and on-track performance.

Retro Bodywork with Refined Details

The body keeps the classic ABS shell but adds an aluminium roof panel and wing that echo the period look while giving extra rigidity. Redesigned decal sheets reference the original livery with cleaner graphics to suit both display models and weekend racers.

FRP Chassis and Tuned Suspension Layout

The buggy sits on a 2.5mm FRP chassis plate and features independent suspension for reliable off-road control. The front uses a double trailing arm arrangement, while the rear employs a transverse damper with a progressive spring and a separate oil reservoir to smooth rough terrain.

Robust Drive Components for Trail Use

The drivetrain uses a die-cast, sealed gear case with a direct drive configuration designed around a 540-brushed motor. Ribbed front tyres and spike rear tyres mounted on three-piece wheels give strong traction and predictable handling on loose surfaces.

This Tamiya 84389 Fighting Buggy combines period styling with practical mechanical upgrades, making it a strong pick for collectors who still want to get out and run on rough tracks.
