Timeless Off-Road Appeal: Tamiya Fire Dragon Overview

The Tamiya Fire Dragon 47457-60A revives a vintage 1/10 off-road design with a clean, no-nonsense layout. It appeals to modellers who enjoy a traditional kit build and drivers who prefer predictable, tunable handling.

Robust Construction with Tuning Scope

Featuring a polycarbonate body over an ABS chassis, the Fire Dragon balances protection with weight efficiency. Its 540-brushed motor and independent double wishbone suspension give stable traction and handling on rough surfaces while keeping the setup manageable.

Where This Kit Fits in Your Garage

The Fire Dragon is simpler to maintain than some modern competition cars, making it a pragmatic option for those wanting a reliable classic that is easy to service and personalise with decals and modest upgrades.

Maintenance and Upgrade Advice

Install metal bearings to lower friction and extend component life, and match an appropriate brushed ESC to your battery choice since no ESC is included. Regular drivetrain checks help prevent common wear issues.
