HI!... Got this Tamiya "Super Champ" a few months ago. Was basically a shelf queen. Going to stay that way with me too.

Got some work done on the Superchamp today while I was home from work sick with the flu. I got this car from a member here. It never had any electronics in it. He did give me a brand NIB MSC for it. Well I 1st off removed all the bronze bushings and replaced them all with new sealed ball bearings. Then I installed two new Futaba servo's and the new MSC. I also installed a new on/off switch and battery holder. I even bought a vintage humpback hardcase batter for it. Here's a few pics :

Well I decided to touch up the driver. Previous owner left him pretty bland. lol! This is Before :
