The Tamiya Saint Dragon 47459-60A revives a beloved 80s design while keeping the platform serviceable for modern use. This limited reissue retains the model's recognizable lines and adds robust components that suit regular trail running and light competition.
A shaft-driven 4WD system sits at the core of the vehicle, paired with a bathtub ABS chassis that resists wear during regular use. Front and rear gearboxes handle drivetrain loads and the suspension uses upper "I" and lower "H" arms for controlled wheel movement.
The body is supplied pre-assembled and painted in white, ready for the included sticker sheet. That setup gets you on the track faster while still allowing for personal colour and decal choices.
Independent double wishbone suspension on all four corners, combined with CVA oil shock dampers and a front stabiliser, offers predictable handling on rough or patchy terrain. The 3-bevel gear differentials help maintain traction through corners.
The Saint Dragon is a solid choice if you want a period-correct model that is straightforward to maintain and upgrade. It suits hobbyists who enjoy both collecting and tuning their rigs for different terrain.
