Return of a Classic: Tamiya 84389 Fighting Buggy Reborn

Tracing its roots back to the Super Champ era, the Tamiya 84389 Fighting Buggy comes back updated while keeping the spirit of the original. The restoration balances collectible appeal with functional improvements suited to contemporary RC driving.

Period Styling with Practical Refinements

The ABS body keeps the unmistakable silhouette and gains an aluminium roof and wing for a more authentic vintage feel. New sticker sheets are faithful to the original themes while offering refreshed graphics for modern tastes.

Sturdy FRP Base and Progressive Rear Damping

Mounted on a 2.5mm FRP chassis plate, the buggy features independent suspension to handle rough courses. Front double trailing arms work with a rear transverse damper arrangement that includes a progressive spring and a separated oil reservoir for controlled damping.

Reliable Powertrain for Club Tracks

A sealed die-cast gear case houses the direct drive layout designed around a 540-brushed motor. The combination of ribbed fronts and spike-style rears on three-piece rims delivers dependable grip across natural and man-made off-road surfaces.

The Tamiya 84389 Fighting Buggy blends authentic looks with mechanical updates, making it attractive for builders who value both display quality and off-road capability.

Intermediate builders will get the most from this kit due to mechanical tuning and decal work, though determined beginners can complete it with patience.
The design expects a standard 540-brushed motor; choose a motor with similar RPM and torque characteristics to match stock gearing and preserve driveline longevity.
Yes, the transverse damper and springs can be tuned or replaced with aftermarket parts to suit race setups and improve handling on prepared tracks.
The body is supplied as a white ABS shell that requires trimming and painting; this gives builders freedom to finish it to their own style.
Keep the FRP plate clean of grit, inspect mounting points for cracks after hard runs, and use mild soap and water to remove dirt without weakening the material.
