What's the differences between the rough rider and the super champ aside from the chassis?

Nice work. I was going to suggest lettering the tires but I forgot Tamiya took off the "sand blaster jr." off the fronts for some silly reason.

hey melvins sweet lookin buggy..i was just in your neck of the woods last week Duffs 168 Marcy Ave, Brooklyn... anyway, i like the battery tray set up i would do the same thing ..i think tamiya should include a battery tray set up like that with the stock one in the kit.. the miller body looks real nice.. you should do a PBR body too.. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

There are quite a few differences. I think it would easier to list their similarities. The main differences being the body, tires and wheels.

Yep. I just took a piece of 6061, drilled it and bent it into shape. Made the radio tray too.

Nice looking buggy. I just built one and let me tell you... I've had more fun running the thing this past week that I've had with rc's in a long while.

I really like the paint scheme. I like your battery setup as well.
