Here is my new built buggy champ with my motor and gear covers and coilover kit. I also picked up some original new tires and wheels also two add so i cant paint the tire lettering.

Looks good. I was checking out the coil overs and will probably add them. I have been practicing brazing to make roll cages and bumpers. We will see.

Couple more pics with body mounted and tires and wheels with new original fronts. I took the aluminum covers off too put on my scorcher when it arrives early next week.

That looks really nice. I'm looking forward to the painted pictures!
And I'm also trying to resist the temptation to buy one of these. :D

Good so far. Where did you get the wheel covers and what source are you using for the decals?

Wheels are from a tamiyaclub member and haven't got the decals yet.

That looks really nice... Mine is still in the works. I'm using the Competition alloy chassis on mine, what about yours?
