Timeless Design, Serviceable Components

The Tamiya 84162 - 1/10 RC Buggy Champ (2009) Gold Edition captures the original character while using parts that are straightforward to maintain. This gold-finished kit makes a strong impression without compromising on practical aspects for regular running.

Historic Appeal in Accurate Scale

Introduced in 1979, the Buggy Champ became a staple because of its simple yet durable layout. The 1/10 Gold Edition preserves that appeal, offering scale presence and an approachable platform for restoration or modern upgrades.

Durable Chassis and Smooth Drive

The chassis is a 2mm FRP plate reinforced with aluminium to improve torsional rigidity. The 4-wheel independent suspension fitted with die-cast arms and oil dampers provides composed handling, while full ball bearings reduce mechanical loss and keep the drivetrain running cleanly.

Gearing Options and Component Covering

Two gear ratio choices, 6.5G1 and 9.3G1, let you decide between punchy acceleration or higher top speed. A clear protective case shields the receiver and electronics from dust and debris, easing maintenance between sessions.
