Well the motor came in for the Buggy Champ today so I startesd working on it. next thing I new the whole car was back apart I am going to redo the whole thing. I ordered up a waterproof servo. I think I am going to take the sport tuned out and go brushless. I want water proof with out that horrible box. as this is my main SRB runner. I also opened the trans up to have a look its seen a lot of beach action. it looked great and I went ahead and painted the gearbox houseing and rear arms. they were starting to corode alittle. so I thought a coating would look better, for the back ground for the motor. here are some of the details on the motor. I have some model car decals for the coil. and it will get plug wires the stinger exhaust will be here in a few days. I painte the sheilding blue but I think I might redo it black? what does everyone think?

First time I have seen this motor in blue, looks good so far.

I was only thinking blue because the car is blue. I went ahead and painted the whole trans housing black on this one. more for corosion control. but to keep it a little more scale.

well Got the motor in I had to cut the back I will be makeing a new peice to go acrossed to replace it.

Well thanks to Red Scampy I have a new Super Champ. this is the first RC car I ever had. I walked into a hobby shop when I was 14 and fell in love with the Sand Scorcher. the sales man said this was the newest and best thing out their. so I let him talk me into it and I was the proud owner of a new Super Champ. and it has been history from their. well I sold mine and my Wild Willys about 9 years ago and have always been sorry. So now I have one thats much nicer than the one I had (mine had the crap ran out of it ) now the hunt is on for a body.

Now all I need is a F150 and my Knight Beach Buggy and my SRB collection will be complete

Well after a long search I figured its going to take a while to find a body for my New Super Champ. I had a extra Buggy Champ Body, so I cut the top of it off and decided to make a Super Champ body. or at least something that looks something like a SC body. I took some 3/16 Plstic rod and bent up a roll cage. I think it came out ok. still a lot of work to do but makeing some progress. this was the original Gold buggy champ body that came in my kit.

Hey Rick, that looks pretty nice, glad to see the old girl get some new duds!
