Retro Buggy Reborn: Tamiya 47442 - 1/10 Terra Scorcher 2020

The Tamiya 47442 - 1/10 Terra Scorcher 2020 revives a classic off-road machine, keeping the iconic profile while adapting the design for current hobby standards. Its limited run preserves the original charm and adds practical updates for better durability.

Updated Drivetrain with Classic Lines

This edition uses a robust 4WD chassis related to the Fire Dragon re-issue, featuring a shaft-driven layout that sends torque through universal joints to three-bevel differential gears in sealed housings. Full ball bearings are used throughout to improve smoothness and cut down maintenance.

Responsive Suspension Setup

Handling comes from a clean double wishbone suspension with upper I-arms and lower H-arms, paired with CVA oil dampers for controlled movement. Adjustable top arms allow setup changes to suit hardpack or softer terrain, and roll bars front and rear help steady the chassis.

Kit Contents and Custom Paint

The kit includes an ESC but needs a 2-channel radio, steering servo, and a 7.2V battery pack plus charger to complete. The polycarbonate body accepts PS paint for custom schemes and decals.

The Tamiya 47442 - 1/10 Terra Scorcher 2020 suits collectors and active builders who want a nostalgic look with practical modern engineering for varied off-road use.
