About this product

Tamiya 47381 – Super Astute (2018) 1/10 2WD Off-Road Buggy (Limited Edition Re-Release) The Tamiya Super Astute (47381) is a limited-edition re-release of Tamiya’s iconic 1991 2WD off-road racing buggy. Updated for modern performance while staying true to the original design, this 2018 edition delivers rugged durability, sharp handling, and classic Tamiya heritage in a high-performance package. Built on a 2.5mm FRP chassis, the Super Astute offers a low centre of gravity and excellent balance on rough terrain. Its 4-wheel double wishbone suspension with CVA oil dampers provides smooth control, while the TTC (Tamiya Traction Control) slipper system protects the drivetrain and improves stability under acceleration. The lightweight polycarbonate body faithfully recreates the original Astute’s aggressive styling, paired with high-traction rib-spike front tires and square-spike rear tires for superb grip and cornering. This kit blends nostalgia with modern engineering, making it ideal for collectors, vintage racing fans, and off-road R/C enthusiasts.
