Since its 1979 debut the Buggy Champ has been part of RC history. The Tamiya Buggy Champ 84187 Silver Edition from 2009 refreshes that legacy, pairing the original styling cues with practical updates for everyday club runs and display shelves alike.
The 1/10 scale chassis combines a 2mm FRP plate and aluminium reinforcement to keep the structure rigid while absorbing trail abuse. The suspension architecture of front double trailing arms and rear torsion bars gives consistent handling feel across mixed surfaces.
Full ball bearings improve drivetrain efficiency and semi-pneumatic block tyres supply reliable contact with uneven ground. The two selectable gear ratios, 4.6:1 or 3.7:1, allow simple tuning to suit tight tracks or faster layouts.
A solid choice for model makers and weekend racers, this Silver Edition blends collectible appeal with a practical, serviceable platform for hands-on hobbyists.
