The Tamiya Super Storm Dragon 47438 revives a much-loved silhouette from vintage R/C culture, updated into a complete kit that keeps the original spirit while delivering components suited to hands-on model building and regular running.
Under the pre-painted polycarbonate body the Hornet chassis offers a lightweight, sturdy platform. The ABS bathtub frame and reinforced suspension arms give the model clean serviceability. The front features coil-sprung independent swing axles and the rear uses a rolling rigid axle with oil dampers; a sealed rear differential helps reduce maintenance caused by dust and debris.
A 540 brushed motor and an ESC are included in the kit; to complete the car you will need a 2-channel transmitter, steering servo and a 7.2V battery with suitable charger. The three-piece wheels combine grooved front tyres with spiked rear tyres to balance steering feedback and rear traction on loose surfaces.
With its period-correct looks and reliable mechanical choices, the Tamiya Super Storm Dragon 47438 is a rewarding kit for collectors and drivers who want a classic build that still performs on informal off-road tracks.
