Back in Action: Tamiya Buggy Champ 2009 Reissue

The Tamiya 58441_2 Buggy Champ 2009 is a painstaking reissue of the 1979 original, released to celebrate its 30th anniversary. It preserves the distinctive look of the era while strengthening key components to improve longevity. The classic front double trailing arms combined with rear torsion give a period correct driving character.

Materials and Suspension Overview

The main chassis uses a 2mm FRP plate reinforced with a duralumin backing for improved stiffness. Updated die-cast suspension arms front and rear add robustness, and a clear waterproof case protects on-board electronics. Full ball bearings are fitted to reduce friction throughout the drive train.

Shell, Presentation and Power

This 1/10 assembly kit includes a plain white plastic body that is easy to customise with paints and decals. The retro blister packaging mirrors the original collector appeal, and a type 540 motor is supplied so the mechanical side of the model is ready once assembled.

The Tamiya 58441_2 Buggy Champ 2009 is well suited to collectors and hobbyists who value authentic styling backed by practical component updates.
