Revived retro model built for today's hobbyists

The Tamiya Super Storm Dragon 47438 brings back an iconic silhouette from classic RC comics while providing a tidy kit layout for hands-on assembly. Its appeal spans collectors who value the history and modellers who enjoy building a tidy, authentic recreation.

Timeless styling with practical underpinnings

The pre-painted polycarbonate body sits on a Hornet chassis that balances light weight and structural strength. The ABS bathtub frame and reinforced suspension arms add durability. Up front, coil-sprung independent swing axles work with a rear rolling rigid axle and oil dampers to keep the ride controlled, while the sealed rear diff reduces maintenance from dirt ingress.

Ready-to-run components and tyre setup

Included in the kit are a 540 brushed motor and an ESC, so you only need to fit a 2-channel radio, steering servo, and a 7.2V battery plus charger to go. Three-piece wheels combine grooved front tyres and spiked rear tyres for a mix of steering precision and rear traction suited to loose surfaces.

As a faithful reissue, the Tamiya Super Storm Dragon 47438 combines authentic looks with component choices that make it enjoyable to build, tune and run on dirt or grass tracks.

Assembly time varies by experience, but expect a few evenings for a careful build including fitting electronics and fine tuning.
Yes. Many owners upgrade tyres, shocks and servo mounts to improve handling or durability, using parts that fit Hornet-style layouts.
The tyre pattern and suspension work well on packed dirt, grass and hard-packed trails. Avoid very rocky ground without additional protection.
