The Tamiya 47442 - 1/10 Terra Scorcher 2020 returns a beloved off-road model with careful updates to meet contemporary hobby standards. The limited edition keeps the period styling while integrating improvements that boost reliability and handling.
The model rides on a solid 4WD chassis related to the Fire Dragon reissue and uses a shaft-driven arrangement to transfer power through universal joints to three-bevel differentials in sealed casings. Full ball bearings are used to reduce wear and maintain smooth operation.
Handling comes from a double wishbone suspension with upper I-arms and lower H-arms, fitted with CVA oil dampers. Adjustable upper arms provide setup flexibility and front and rear stabilisers help control roll for sharper cornering.
The kit includes an ESC but requires a 2-channel radio, steering servo and a 7.2V battery pack plus charger to complete. The clear polycarbonate body is compatible with Tamiya PS paint for custom livery and detailing.
Collectors and active drivers will appreciate the Tamiya 47442 - 1/10 Terra Scorcher 2020 for its faithful styling and sensible mechanical upgrades, offering a rewarding build and capable off-road handling.
