Retro Style With Practical Off-Road Parts

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.

Classic Roots, Real-World Scale

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.

Sturdy Chassis and Smooth Running Parts

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.

Adjustments and Component Care

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.

A standard NiMH pack in the common dimensions for 540-style setups fits well; confirm tray space before upgrading to larger cells.
Yes, you can fit a small brushless system but check pinion and spur compatibility and be prepared to adjust gearing and cooling.
This chassis is versatile for packed dirt, grass and club tracks; soft sand will need tyre and gear changes for consistent performance.
