This R/C kit recreates a Tamiya popular 1980’s R/C comic car famously known as the Saint Dragon. The limited-edition recreation is mounted on the same chassis as the Fire Dragon, which is a capable 4WD off-road machine!
Efficient Shaft-Driven 4WD
The Saint Dragon (2021) chassis features a shaft-driven 4WD drivetrain married to a lightweight and tough bathtub frame that employs front and rear gearboxes with the suspension attached to them; that suspension utilizes upper "I" and lower "H" arms, and offers a ground-hugging fun drive experience. Both gearboxes house a gear differential, and are compact to ensure plentiful ground clearance. The kit also features an aluminum motor mount for superior heat dissipation.
