The Tamiya 84162 - 1/10 RC Buggy Champ (2009) Gold Edition blends classic looks with components you can use on mixed surfaces. The distinctive gold shell makes it an appealing build for people who want period aesthetics and real performance on grass or dirt.
Born in 1979, the Buggy Champ became a favourite because of its rugged feel and simple servicing. At 1/10 scale the 2009 Gold Edition keeps that spirit while offering a platform that is easy to tweak for local track conditions.
The base is a 2mm FRP plate strengthened with aluminium braces for better rigidity. The independent four-wheel suspension with die-cast control arms and oil dampers soaks up rough lines, while full ball bearings reduce friction for smoother acceleration and reduced wear.
Pick between 6.5G1 and 9.3G1 gearing to match how you like to run. The clear protective case keeps the receiver and servo area clean, making maintenance quicker after dusty sessions.
The Tamiya 84162 Buggy Champ Gold Edition is great for hobbyists who want a historic model that is straightforward to set up and tune for different surfaces.
