Tamiya Egress Black Edition RC Buggy 1/10 Scale - 47489

The Tamiya Egress Black Edition (TAM47489) is a 1/10 scale off-road RC buggy kit that recreates one of Tamiya's most iconic rear-wheel-drive buggies in a striking all-black livery. Originally released in 1989, the Egress earned a reputation for its distinctive bodywork and double-wishbone suspension setup, and this Black Edition brings that classic radio control buggy back with a dark aesthetic twist. It's a kit build, so you'll be assembling this one yourself — which makes it a rewarding project for intermediate to experienced RC builders who enjoy the construction process as much as the driving.

Key Features

• Classic Tamiya Egress chassis design with double-wishbone suspension on all four corners, suited to off-road bashing on dirt and loose surfaces.
• Rear-wheel-drive layout typical of Tamiya's vintage buggy lineup, offering a lively and characterful drive feel.
• Black Edition colour scheme applied to body and key components, distinguishing this release from the standard version.
• 1/10 scale kit format — requires assembly, making it suitable for builders comfortable with multi-stage RC kit construction.
• Compatible with Tamiya's range of hop-up and optional parts designed for the Egress platform.
