Refurbish your Bigwig with a tough black chassis

The Tamiya 9334174 Black Chassis is aimed at hobbyists restoring the Bigwig 47330 vintage buggy. Engineered to fit precisely, it preserves the model's silhouette while improving underside rigidity for everyday handling.

What this chassis brings to your build

Aside from the period correct appearance, the chassis adds reliable support to suspension mounts and drivetrain areas. It is a practical choice when replacing worn parts and preparing a Bigwig for regular use.

Can I use this with upgraded shocks and parts?

Yes. The chassis is compatible with common aftermarket shocks and hop-up parts that fit the Bigwig layout, though you should check clearance for larger components.

Is any trimming required for gearbox fitment?

Most users find the gearbox sits correctly without trimming. If you run non-standard gearboxes, minor adjustments may be necessary to ensure smooth meshing.

How should I maintain the chassis long term?

Keep mounting points clean and inspect for cracks after hard runs. Tighten hardware with thread lock where appropriate and replace any bent or worn parts promptly.

Can I paint it to match an original Bigwig shell?

Yes. Lightly sand and wipe the surface first, then use hobby paints suitable for the chassis material. Test on a scrap area to confirm adhesion.
