A Classic Reborn: The Fighting Buggy Returns

The Tamiya 47304 Fighting Buggy arrives again as a special re-release, bringing back the early 80s icon that many enthusiasts remember. Internationally introduced as the Super Champ, this model is celebrated by collectors and drivers who value its original character. The new release keeps the look and feel of the classic while adding thoughtful updates.

Subtle Upgrades That Matter

This version preserves the classic layout but adds practical reinforcements for everyday use. The chassis features a 2.5mm FRP plate to improve torsional strength while maintaining a light overall weight. Updated sticker artwork refreshes the appearance while staying true to the model's heritage.

Vintage-Inspired Suspension Layout

The rear retains the transverse damper arrangement with a progressive spring and a separate oil reserve tank, giving stable damping on rough surfaces. The front double trailing arm suspension maintains the traditional steering geometry familiar to fans of the original model.

Old School Drive, Modern Fit

The gearbox-driven 2WD RWD setup offers the authentic, rear-wheel-driven feel of the original Fighting Buggy. Grooved front tyres paired with spike rear tyres on three-piece wheels provide grip across dirt and grass. The reissue balances nostalgic handling with improved durability for modern off-road use.

For hobbyists who appreciate classic styling and straightforward mechanics, the Tamiya 47304 Fighting Buggy offers a faithful rebuild with sensible improvements for everyday off-road running.

Assembly requires basic modelling skills and patience. Clear instructions guide the build, but expect trimming and careful decal work. Beginners will benefit from taking their time with suspension and gearbox fitment.
This buggy performs well on dirt tracks, park runs and grassy fields. The tyre choice and suspension are tailored for loose surfaces rather than smooth tarmac.
Many replacement parts are available through hobby stores and aftermarket suppliers. Since this is a reissue, common wear items like tyres and suspension parts are usually easy to source.
