Tamiya 47330 - 1/10 The Bigwig 2017 Re-Release Kit, Classic Off-Road Edition  [47330]

Classic Bigwig design updated for modern hobbyists

Launched in 1986 as a celebratory model, the Bigwig was notable for its designer influence and striking appearance. The Tamiya 47330 re-release honours that legacy while adding measured updates that make it more suitable for contemporary RC enthusiasts who value both display and performance.

Authentic profile with precise steering control

One of the Bigwig's standout features is its rack and pinion steering, offering enhanced feedback compared with many period designs. The lightweight polycarbonate shell preserves the original silhouette while improving durability for regular running.

Drive and suspension engineered for uneven surfaces

The ABS resin bathtub-type chassis houses a shaft-driven 4WD system with full ball bearings to reduce friction. The double wishbone suspension on all four corners paired with CVA oil dampers provides a forgiving ride across rough tracks and garden runs.

Performance baseline with room to personalise

Fitted with a GT-Tuned 25T motor, the Bigwig delivers dependable on-track performance. The Aerodish wheels and oval block tyres offer steady traction, and the chassis allows ESCs of up to 22mm height to be mounted in the standard position for upgrades.

The Tamiya Bigwig 47330 is a faithful reissue that combines classic character with sensible modern refinements, ideal for hobbyists who enjoy both period accuracy and practical running.
