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.
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.
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.
