ChrisT Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 This was an easy one for Tamiya to re-release. Having already released the Terra Scorcher (4 damper model ) the Fire Dragon isn't that much different. With no bearings, CVD's, rear sway bar it should be cheaper that the TS. Here's hoping.

oodboo Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I was hoping for a Thunder Dragon but seeing as I missed this as a re re, I’ll get it as a re re re and hope for a re re re thunder shot and a re re thunder dragon next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Dragon or Falcon? Not getting too excited on the Thundershot family re-releases as I have them already. But I am for the Falcon, my first Tamiya. I'd buy 2 for the sake of it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here you go, as I expected cheaper than the Terra Scorcher being a lower spec buggy. Tamiya Fire Dragon (2020) 47457 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a while and an arm and a leg I rekon the Thunder Dragon will come eventually, they've done them all now so no reason why not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSeaRC Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Come on Tamiya, how about for 2021 you actually release a NEW model that will be a future classic rather than just re-releasing old models? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertberr Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Because that would require investment, much more profitable (in short term) to just rehash what you're already designed. And anyway they don't seem to have had too much trouble selling all/most of their previous ReRe offerings to nostalgic old fools like me for often eye watering prices (VQS anyone?).

Stormbringer Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I suppose the re re's give me a chance to get some of them that i couldnt afford or couldnt get 1st time around lol 🍻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
