Iconic Saint Dragon styling with serviceable running gear

The Tamiya Saint Dragon 47459-60A brings back a classic body and pairs it with straightforward mechanics that are easy to maintain. The limited release keeps the original appeal while using parts that make repairs and upgrades manageable for hobbyists.

Drive system and chassis layout

The kit employs a shaft-driven 4WD drivetrain coupled to a reinforced bathtub ABS chassis. Front and rear gearboxes distribute power efficiently and suspension items including the upper "I" and lower "H" arms help preserve wheel alignment under load.

Factory-finished body and decal options

The white body comes pre-painted and pre-fitted, complete with a sticker set for authentic period graphics. This makes it quick to prepare for running while still offering the option to paint or modify the shell for a bespoke look.

Handling package tuned for uneven ground

The Saint Dragon uses independent double wishbone suspension with CVA oil shock dampers and a front stabiliser to improve composure on rough surfaces. The inclusion of 3-bevel gear differentials assists with traction and predictable cornering.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Drive Type: 4WD
  • Chassis Material: ABS Plastic
  • Motor: 540-type brushed
  • Suspension: 4-wheel independent double wishbone
  • Electronic Speed Control (ESC): Not Included

For enthusiasts who value period charm but want a platform that is easy to maintain and tune, the Saint Dragon offers a satisfying balance. It works well as a display piece or a running rig that you can gradually upgrade.

A basic 2-channel radio is sufficient for steering and throttle control. Choose a reliable transmitter with a clear signal to avoid interference at events or busy fields.
Apply clear protective films to high impact zones, fit bumper guards if available, and consider trimming inner body sections to prevent tyre rub and reduce stress on mounting points.
The included specification calls for a 540-type brushed motor. It is fine for casual runs and club events, though some drivers opt for higher performance motors and matching ESCs for faster acceleration.
Before running after storage, inspect battery condition, check gear lubrication, verify shock seals, and tighten any loose fasteners. Spin the wheels to ensure gears spin freely.
