My first real RC was also a Rough Rider, so brings back memories.

Love the grey bodyshell!

Very nice.

Is that the rcchannel rear suspension and a sand scorcher driver figure?

And another one who's first rc was a Rough Rider.

And this is how it starts

The wheels that come in the buggy champ kit are what size? 1.75? Is there anything available in a more agressive tire? I could run the smaller frog wheels and tires but don't like the look as much.

Last post

I bought my Buggy Champ as a roller and it only came with the Frog wheels and tires. Which should work better on sand since the rear tread pattern is more of a paddle. If anyone has a new set of Buggy Champ wheel and tire they would like to trade...

I cant seem to find any Buggy Champ 2009 front tires? They seem to have dried up on ebay, tower, Tamiya USA. Cant even find a listing on Tamiya USA. Are they all gone with the discontinuation?

Last post

Yeah, the car is, but I can't see them stop making tires and other breakable parts as poeple are just starting to run them.

Hey I found this in a search and have some questions as I'm in the process of modding my Sand Scorcher using the DF-03 slipper as well.

I was wondering if you guys used different paint for these hard bodies vs. lexan. Is there any different prep. I was thinking it may be more like auto body. Thanks guys!

Last post
