Retro Trail Buggy Tamiya 47457 1/10 Fire Dragon 2020 Edition  [47457]

2020 Reissue with Vintage Lines

The Tamiya 47457 - 1/10 Fire Dragon (2020) brings back a classic silhouette while incorporating practical upgrades for everyday off-road use, making it appealing to model builders and casual drivers.

Build Materials and Suspension

The design uses an ABS chassis for resilience and a polycarbonate body to keep the weight low. Its CVA oil-filled shock dampers offer consistent performance across mixed surfaces and help maintain traction on uneven runs.

Tuning Advice for Better Handling

With a four-wheel independent double wishbone setup, the car allows for straightforward handling adjustments. Running a 540-brushed motor with an appropriate ESC and a quality steering servo will make set up and trimming accessible.

How It Stacks Up in the Line

While mechanically similar to the Thunder Shot platform, the Fire Dragon stands out through its bespoke body shape and decal styling, so many pilots pick it for its looks as much as its driving characteristics.

The Tamiya 47457 - 1/10 Fire Dragon (2020) is a versatile kit for those who want a period look with sensible modern components for off-road enjoyment.
