Tamiya 47381 Super Astute 1/10 Off Road RC Assembly Kit chassis and balance
The FRP chassis lowers the centre of gravity and resists flex, ensuring predictable handling and stability. Combined with the protective under cowl and rear wing, Tamiya 47381 Super Astute 1/10 Off Road RC Assembly Kit maintains composure across jumps and uneven terrain.
How do CVA dampers in Tamiya 47381 Super Astute 1/10 Electric Brushed Buggy improve grip?
CVA oil dampers absorb shocks and keep tyres planted, while the double wishbone suspension geometry ensures consistent camber control. This allows Tamiya 47381 Super Astute 1/10 Electric Brushed Buggy to corner smoothly and accelerate confidently on off-road surfaces.
Can the TTC slipper clutch in Tamiya Super Astute 47381 FRP chassis and TTC slipper clutch enhance durability?
The TTC system reduces drivetrain stress by limiting wheel spin and cushioning gear loads. Easy adjustment via the gearbox cover lock nut makes Tamiya Super Astute 47381 FRP chassis and TTC slipper clutch adaptable to different surfaces and driving styles.
Why does Tamiya Super Astute 47381 CVA oil dampers and double wishbone suspension deliver consistent handling?
The CVA dampers provide reliable damping curves, while the double wishbone suspension geometry ensures tyres remain effective under load. Together, Tamiya Super Astute 47381 CVA oil dampers and double wishbone suspension produce stable steering and improved cornering response.
Is the polycarbonate shell in Tamiya Super Astute 47381 polycarbonate body and rib-spike tyres practical?
The lightweight polycarbonate body reduces mass while resisting impacts. Rib-spike front tyres carve through loose terrain, while square-spike rears provide drive. Tamiya Super Astute 47381 polycarbonate body and rib-spike tyres combine durability with responsive handling.

We want to make sure your delivery goes smoothly, so here are some important details about our service:
- For orders above £120, we offer delivery to most mainland UK addresses. For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.
- Depending on what you choose at checkout, your order will usually be delivered either the next working day or within 2 working days. For next day delivery please place your order before 2:00pm. Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
