The Fighting Buggy was originally exported as the Super Champ in 1982 across the globe. It is back as a special re-release celebrating 30-plus years after it originally made its debut in hobby stores.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.
Features:
The classic body of the original is reproduced in durable ABS resin with an aluminum roof panel with wing
Newly-designed stickers retain many of the themes of the classic model while also adding some new motifs.
