Tamiya Buggy Champ Re-Re (Gold Edition)

Post by phoenix »

Finally took some pics of my Buggy Champ Re-Re. It is a gold edition with some proper Wheel covers and wheel screws and a nice bumper. Very fun to drive, especially without the diff !

Where can you get those wheels? I've seen them on the Sand Scorcher and they look awesome!

The gold edition has a gold plated body. Those wheels are stock with exception of those killer wheel covers

I got the wheel covers from this ebay shop:

The Bumper is from RC4wd.

I managed to get one of the new original tamiya LIFE packs (the small one pictured on their web page), perfect for that model.
