So I picked up a couple vintage super champ buggies recently and decided to use the best off of both for one nice rebuild. The one in these photos was definitely the better of the two and the one for the bassis of the build. I kept a couple things off the other one but not much.
When I was around 8, my cousin had a Super Champ and it really blew me away. It was so fast, full of metal, in fact it was too fast for my cousin to control and it hit my eldest brother until his toes were bleeding....Ever since then my impression...

Super Champ is on my Vintage wishlist.

This is the first time I have shared this car with anyone. It is my highly modified Super Champ. Check out the gearbox! When was the last time you saw one of these? Hope you enjoy.

First of all, very cool build! I miss the old school off roaders!
Such a cool piece of history. That was also a pricy little buggy BITD and it's great that you've been able to keep it all these years. Racing in the 80's was cool. So many...

That should clean up nicely. Throw a little bit of easy off oven cleaner on that shell and see what you get.

I bought this car about 8 or 9 yrs ago and it's about 90% complete. The guy who sold it to me rebuilt it as a shelf queen. All of the parts are IMMACULATE, including the inside of the gearbox. The gears and shocks have never been oiled/ greased....

Cool! Thanks for the advice. I'll be sure and use cement. I assume I can paint over it after it's fully dried and sanded?
My sweet wife wanted to surprise me with something nice. Boy did she ever! :shock:
She knew that my first real rc car (I had a Tyco Turbo Hopper before this one) was a Super Champ and that we got at a flea market and I'd always regretted letting it...
