Tamiya Fire Dragon 2020 Pre-Painted RC Buggy 1/10 Scale - 47457

The Tamiya Fire Dragon (2020) is a 1/10 scale 4WD off-road RC buggy kit, released under style code TAM47457 as a modern revival of the classic Tamiya buggy originally launched in the 1980s. This version comes pre-painted, so the polycarbonate body arrives ready to mount straight onto the completed chassis — a welcome time-saver for builders who'd rather get straight to driving. As a kit, the Fire Dragon requires assembly, making it best suited to hobbyists who are comfortable with basic model construction or are looking to develop their RC building skills. Once built, the 4WD drivetrain and off-road buggy design make it well suited to loose dirt, gravel, and light off-road terrain.

Key Features

• 1/10 scale 4WD off-road buggy platform with four-wheel drive for traction across loose and uneven surfaces
• Pre-painted polycarbonate body included, finished in the Fire Dragon's signature livery — no painting or masking required
• Kit format requires assembly, giving builders full familiarity with the drivetrain, suspension, and chassis layout
• Designed for off-road use on dirt, gravel, and rough ground — not optimised for smooth on-road surfaces
• A 2020 reissue of a well-loved Tamiya classic, retaining the original's character while benefiting from updated packaging and parts availability
