The Fire Dragon revival brings a recognised 1980s off-road buggy back into kit form, appealing to collectors and drivers who value period design. The model keeps the original lines while offering a straightforward build process.
The design features a shaft-driven 4WD layout that delivers balanced drive to all wheels, paired with independent double wishbone suspension and oil dampers to help control body movement over rough ground. The monocoque frame and full chassis cover protect the mechanicals in demanding conditions.
The lightweight polycarbonate shell captures the iconic silhouette and places the cockpit forward for an authentic look. A driver torso is supplied for realism, and a Type 540 motor is included so the vehicle can be run once you add your chosen electronics.
The kit offers scope for personalisation and upgrades, making it suitable for people who enjoy tuning or displaying classic models. Required items include a 2-channel R/C system, ESC, servos and a 7.2V battery with a compatible charger.
Combining vintage charm with a practical mechanical layout, the Fire Dragon is a sensible choice for those who want a runnable classic or a restoration-style project to customise and refine.
