Heritage Reborn with Tamiya 84163 Buggy Champ 2009

Originally instrumental in popularising off-road buggies, this reissue keeps the spirit of the original while benefiting from modern production quality. The limited Expert Built release simplifies delivery of a ready-to-finish classic for model fans.

Reinforced Plate Chassis

The chassis uses a 2mm FRP plate supported by an aluminium reinforcement plate, delivering a durable base that still allows controlled flex. That combination helps maintain chassis integrity over rough club tracks.

Smooth Four-Wheel Suspension

Equipped with four-wheel independent suspension, the Buggy Champ features front double trailing arms and a rear swing axle arrangement. Die-cast suspension arms and oil dampers improve wheel control and absorb harsher bumps.

Built for Longevity and Protection

A clear mechanism box covers the electronics and battery bay to reduce ingress of dirt. Full ball bearings cut rolling resistance, and the block-pattern tyres provide dependable grip on loose and semi-compact surfaces.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Chassis: 2mm FRP with aluminum reinforcement
  • Suspension: Front double trailing arm and rear swing axle
  • Dampers: Oil-filled
  • Bearings: Full ball bearings
  • Tires: Block tread pattern

This Buggy Champ 2009 release balances collectible appeal with a chassis and running gear that still perform well for practical off-road hobby use.

Assembly is approachable for hobbyists with basic experience; clear layout and Expert Built details reduce tricky steps compared with a full kit build.
Choose a compact radio, a standard-size steering servo and an ESC that fits the battery envelope; check dimensions L:70mm W:35mm H:20mm for battery fit.
Many mechanical parts are shared with other Tamiya buggies of the era, so common wear items are generally available from hobby retailers and parts suppliers.
Regularly clean the dampers and check ball bearings for smooth rotation; fresh oil in the dampers and periodic bearing lubrication extend service life.
