Why the Tamiya 84389 Fighting Buggy Still Matters

Built as a modern tribute to the Super Champ lineage, the Tamiya 84389 Fighting Buggy brings classic styling back into a package updated for current RC use. It keeps the original personality while adding improvements to make running and maintenance easier.

Authentic Body Shape with Improved Panels

The ABS-bodied shell retains the iconic profile and is enhanced by an aluminium roof panel and wing for added rigidity. New decal sheets echo the historic look but are clearer and easier to apply for neat finished builds.

Fibreglass Chassis with Tunable Suspension

The 2.5mm FRP chassis forms a stiff base for independent suspension geometry. Front double trailing arms provide consistent steering feedback and the rear transverse damper with a separate oil tank and progressive spring offers adjustable compliance for varied surfaces.

Protected Gearbox and Serviceable Drivetrain

The die-cast sealed gear case protects the direct drive arrangement intended for a 540-brushed motor. Combined with ribbed front tyres and spike rear tyres on three-piece wheels, the setup aims for dependable traction and easy maintenance between sessions.

The Tamiya 84389 Fighting Buggy is a good match for modellers who want a historically inspired machine that still performs well in practical off-road use.

Basic modelling tools like cutters, hobby knife, screwdrivers and paint supplies are sufficient, though a small set of hex drivers and a trim wheel speed up assembly.
Yes, with careful motor mount and pinion selection a compact brushless setup can be fitted, but check space and gearing to avoid overstressing the sealed gearbox.
The transverse damper is designed for serviceability; remove the cover and inspect the oil reservoir and spring for wear, topping up or replacing components as necessary.
With handling upgrades such as improved damping, bearings and electronic tuning, the chassis can be adapted for club competition, though it retains a retro layout that may limit extreme modern setups.
