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

Due in to stock around the 10th September!

1/10 Scale 2WD

This is a very, very special model to Me because it was my 1st ever Tamiya RC Kit that I got as a present & built myself as a young'un way, way back in the 1980's! And it will always be the "Super Champ"

To celebrate its re-release I'm including the Buggy Champ Ball Differential Kit (54897) worth £44.99 for no extra cost! And you still get 10% discount on the RRP :)

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 For a limited time only, it is back as a special re-release celebrating 46-plus years after it originally made its debut in hobby stores.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.
