Falcon 2026 Tamiya 47532 1/10 Scale 2WD Buggy Kit  [47532]

Tamiya 47532 Falcon 2026: Compact 1/10 2WD bathtub-chassis buggy

Chassis and packaging

The Falcon 2026 adheres to the classic 2WD bathtub frame philosophy, offering a tidy layout that simplifies component installation. Polycarbonate suspension arms and stable bulkheads keep serviceability straightforward and align with a parts-first maintenance approach.

Engineering choices for reliability

This release leans into proven mechanical changes rather than extreme performance parts. Universal drive shafts replace more brittle fixed drives to cut the risk of rear trailing arm disengagement, and full ball bearings have been added throughout the drivetrain to reduce drag. CVA oil dampers are fitted short up front and long at the rear to match the chassis balance expected from a mid-size buggy.

Shell, fittings and included motor

The body is manufactured in 0.7mm polycarbonate to retain the Falcon profile and the kit includes refreshed sticker decals that echo the original livery. A 540-brushed type motor is listed in the kit contents, keeping the model as a traditional electric build once radio equipment and batteries are fitted.

Best use case

Builders and collectors who value an authentic period look with practical reliability improvements will find the Falcon 2026 appealing. The updates are intended to improve everyday running without changing the model's classic identity.

Tamiya 47532 preserves the Falcon's traditional 2WD design while shoring up known drivetrain weaknesses, making it a sensible choice for enthusiasts seeking an original-feel model that runs reliably.
