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.
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.
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.
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.
The Tamiya 84162 Buggy Champ Gold Edition is a good match for those who want a collectible model that is also a sensible base for practical running and fettling.
