Tamiya 47381 - 1/10 Super Astute (2018) Collector Edition 2WD Buggy  [47381]

Heritage Reissue: The Super Astute Returns

The Super Astute made its mark in 1991 as a finely engineered 2WD off-road racer. The Tamiya 47381 reissue revives that original package, keeping its period design while including targeted updates for improved usability today.

FRP Plate Chassis for Predictable Dynamics

Featuring a 2.5mm FRP chassis, the car benefits from steady flex characteristics and a low center of gravity. That steadiness helps drivers dial in predictable handling across a range of racing surfaces.

Sealed Gearbox and TTC Slipper for Controlled Torque

The sealed gearbox design is retained, now complemented by the TTC slipper clutch. This combination reduces drivetrain shock, helps manage wheelspin, and protects gears during abrupt load changes.

Independent Suspension and Tyre Profile for Traction

Double wishbone suspension with CVA oil dampers provides tunable damping rates, while the rib-spike front and square spike rear tyres give a balanced steering and traction setup suited to off-road circuits.

As a collector piece or a usable classic for club racing, the Super Astute blends period-correct engineering with sensible modern features to keep it competitive and enjoyable.
