I did not create a thread when this car was assembled.
So I decided to record the minor upgrade I'm about to do





Here is what I got for the buggy.

the buggy when I disassembled it, to remove the parts I do not need





first stage



2nd stage



3rd stage



4th stage







next step is to assemble the buggy again

Nice! I just bought two of those from RC Channel for my scorcher and one for ? lol
How do you like it? I haven't even cracked the seal on the box.

thanks, I find it nice and the craftsmanship was very well done

So how does this help the buggy champ / rough rider / sand scorcher? Where can you get it? Is there anywhere to buy a ball diff?

I'm almost ready to buy a sand scorcher kit so just want to know what the upgrades are that I should buy

Very good upgrade.

No camber change which should give it better rear grip . Add a diff & you would have transform it.

If I had a B/Champ I would do the same. I bought his Hot Shot metal arm kit and can't fault it. Just heavy.

Very nice, i have been wanting to get one of these. Let us know what it runs like with it

Heres some update of the buggy











The tires I ordered have not arrive, and still looking for the right aluminum bumper.
Any Idea what bumper is good for this?

Where can you get those wheels?

paulhumgh (eBay) has one for sale for about $30. I can't votes for quality but it looks like an rcchannel product.

The last picture with body mounted is pure art - makes me want to buy a brand new one

I love this rear suspension kit so much it makes me want to buy one of these cars.

Great thread you have here. Thanks for sharing it with us
