Tamiya 47438 1/10 Super Storm Dragon 2020 Re-Release RC Kit
- SKU:
- 47438
- Brand:
- Tamiya
This assembly kit is a fun build for fans of both classic R/C models and cartoons, as the Super Storm Dragon (previously known as the Super Dragon Body Set) is now available in a complete kit with a chassis for the first time! The Super Dragon appeared in the classic 1980s Japanese comic “R/C Boy” and gained a big following in both plastic and print.
The Super Dragon first appeared in 1986 in a classic Japanese RC comic and was originally only available from Tamiya as accessory bodykit 50364 for the Hornet chassis.
The success of the Super Dragon led Tamiya to the birth of the legendary “Dragon model series”, which was followed by other models such as Fire Dragon, Thunder Dragon and Saint Dragon.
The polycarbonate body is already painted and cut to size, and the simple and easy to assemble chassis is recommended for a wide range of users.
The Coming Storm
This R/C model assembly kit creates a buggy inspired by the star vehicle of a 1980s Japanese R/C comic. The body was sold in 1989 as a spare body parts set, but this is the first time it has been made available in a kit with a chassis. It is based upon the proven rear-wheel drive chassis employed by the legendary Hornet. Pre-cut and pre-painted in white, all that is required to finish the body is the application of stickers. The driver figure can be painted in whatever style you wish.
Tough and Fun Chassis
The model's lightweight and durable chassis is based around a bathtub-type frame. It features front swing-axle suspension with friction dampers, while the rear is cushioned by a rolling rigid axle setup and oil dampers for excellent shock absorption. The differential is enclosed in a sealed gearbox to ensure that dust and dirt stay outside, allowing it to continue providing smooth cornering. Three-piece wheels give the car authentic buggy looks, with grooved front tires and rear spike tires guaranteeing superb performance on- and off-road.
Features:
- 1/10 assembly kit. Length: 410mm, width: 230mm, height: 130mm.
- Incorporates the lightweight and rigid Hornet chassis design. Utilizes engineering plastic bathtub frame, suspension arms, bumper and more.
- The front has a coil-sprung independent swing axle suspension setup, while the rear rolling rigid axle suspension employs oil dampers.
- A rear differential provides smooth cornering and is protected from dust and dirt in its sealed gearbox.
- Features three-piece assembly wheels.
- Front grooved tires and high-grip rear spike tires facilitate super handling.
- Polycarbonate body, pre-cut and pre-painted in white.
- Includes: 540 brushed type motor.
- Includes: Tamiya TBLE-02S ESC (electronic speed control) Capable of running sensor brushless motors and brushed motors alike. (21.5 Turn BL motor limit) (23 Turn brushed motor limit)
Required for Operation (Not Included)
- 2Ch Radio System
- Steering Servo
- 7.2V Battery and Charger
The slimline polycarbonate body features stylish extended rear fenders inspired by dragon wings.
The Super Storm Dragon front suspension employs a simple yet highly effective swing axle setup.
Assembly type three-piece wheels are paired with grooved tires to give the buggy excellent performance.
The longitudinally-positioned battery pack is accessed via a hatch on the underside of the chassis.
At the rear of the car, a rolling rigid suspension design is combined with oil dampers.
Superior grip comes courtesy of the spiked tires employed on the rear of the model.
