Icon Recreated: Tamiya 47459 Saint Dragon Reissue

The Tamiya 47459 Saint Dragon 4WD reimagines a beloved 1980s R/C design on a modern, reliable chassis. This reissue keeps the charm of the original body while using proven mechanicals for day-to-day use and preservation.

Efficient Shaft Drive and Chassis Engineering

The drivetrain uses a central shaft to feed power to compact front and rear gearboxes within the tub frame. Fully independent suspension with upper I-arms and lower H-arms provides controlled wheel travel, while compact differentials help maintain clearance. The aluminium motor mount improves thermal performance under sustained loads.

Pre-Finished Body, Suspension and Handling

The model is delivered with a pre-assembled, pre-painted white body that only needs stickers to finish. The chassis includes double wishbone suspension, CVA oil dampers and a front stabiliser to keep the buggy composed. Sealed, die-cast 3-bevel differentials contribute to consistent handling across varied surfaces.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Drive Type: 4WD
  • Motor: 540-brushed type
  • Chassis Material: ABS Plastic
  • Body Material: Polycarbonate
  • Shock Damper: CVA Oil-filled damper
  • Suspension: 4-wheel fully independent double wishbone
  • Terrain Use: Off-Road

Tamiya 47459 Saint Dragon 4WD is ideal for enthusiasts who value classic styling backed by sensible, serviceable engineering for collection or entry-level track use.

Basic modelling skills and a modest toolset are sufficient; the pre-painted body reduces complexity, though patience and attention to instructions will ensure a clean build.
Upgrading damper oils, tyres and fitting ball bearings are cost-effective changes that improve handling and drivetrain efficiency without altering the classic look.
Yes. The pre-painted shell and period-correct styling make it attractive for display, while the robust chassis supports regular running.
Many components share compatibility with other Tamiya 1/10 platforms, so spares and hop-up parts are typically straightforward to source through hobby retailers.
