Tamiya Fighting Buggy/Super Champ 2014 - Best RC Buggy You Can Buy?

About the Super Champ

The Tamiya Fighting Buggy, also known as the Super Champ (2014), is a legendary RC car that brings together classic design, performance, and nostalgic appeal.

It has a place in history in the RC car world, but the latest version is carving a new reputation for itself as one of the best RC buggies you can buy. In 1982, the Fighting Buggy was first distributed all over the world as the Super Champ.

It's returned for a short time only as a special re-release commemorating more than three decades after it first thrilled RC car enthusiasts.

The new name for the re-release kit is the same as the one applied to the R/C model's original Japanese release.

Tamiya's designers made sure to preserve the original's drivability, appearance, and attributes but it’s enhanced with many improvements and tweaks.

Tamiya is of course renowned for producing RC car kits that are of exceptional quality and The Fighting Buggy is a prime example of this.

The model features a robust die-cast aluminum chassis and a reinforced monocoque frame, providing exceptional strength and durability. These materials help the car withstand impacts, ensuring it lasts for many years of racing and display.

Is the Fighting Buggy right for you?

For RC enthusiasts who appreciate nostalgia, the Tamiya Fighting Buggy offers a trip back in time.

It retains the vintage look that captures the essence of early RC racing culture, featuring a detailed ABS resin body, chrome-plated parts, and classic decals.

One of the standout features of this model is its innovative rear suspension system, which was ahead of its time in the early 1980s.

The unique trailing arm suspension, combined with an oil-filled damper, provides excellent shock absorption, stability, and control over rough terrain. This design still holds up well today, offering a smooth driving experience.

The Driveability

On the subject of driving experience, the rear-wheel-drive layout, coupled with the iconic "rolling rear cage" and the high-performance suspension system, gives drivers a more authentic experience reminiscent of classic off-road buggies.

It’s a joy to drive on various surfaces, providing both challenge and satisfaction to hobbyists. Newcomers to the world of RC cars may find it a challenge at first, but the rewards come once you learn to tame the beast!
