Tamiya RC Fighting Buggy {Super Champ} (2014) - Item #47304

1/10 Scale 2WD

The Champ is Back!

The Fighting Buggy was originally exported as the Super Champ in 1982 across the globe. For a limited time only, it is back as a special re-release celebrating 46-plus years after it originally made its debut in hobby stores.

The re-release kit begins with a new name, which is the same as that used by the original Japanese release of the R/C model. While it features a variety of tweaks and upgrades, Tamiya's designers made sure to retain the drivability, appearance, and characteristics of the original.
