Tamiya Thunder Dragon (2021) Pre-Painted RC Buggy 1/10 Scale - 47458

Tamiya's 47458 Thunder Dragon (2021) is a 1/10 scale 4WD RC buggy kit finished with a pre-painted body, recreating one of Tamiya's most recognisable off-road designs for a new generation of builders. This is a kit, not a ready-to-run model — assembly is required, making it a rewarding build for hobbyists with some prior RC kit experience. The pre-painted body saves considerable time in finishing, letting you focus on construction and getting the buggy on the track or dirt sooner. The Thunder Dragon's 4WD drivetrain gives it confident grip across loose surfaces, making it well suited to garden bashing, gravel runs, and club oval or off-road tracks.
