Re: Tamiya Buggy Champ Kit Exclusive Edition
I got it together. I love building nib kits. it is so great not to have to clean or make something work. I dont know if I like the gold body, but it has a great finnish on it. I am going to pick up another to paint the way I want it. and just put this one away for later.

Re: Tamiya Buggy Champ Kit Exclusive Edition
it was great to put it together, it went together so sweet. yea I orderd a new white body for it already and another set of decals plus the decals to do a blue and white RoughRider body. I am ordering a Sand Scorcher mext month. I pushed it this month when I bought a NIB Losi xxxcr and my wife bought me this.Synergy wrote:The body's not for me but hell the chassis and suspension components are pure RC porn![]()

Re: Tamiya Buggy Champ Kit Exclusive Edition
What Batterys are you guy running in these? I like the radio box but their sure isnt much room. I looked at the 6.6 battery in the manual but their 90 bucks? I want to run this so I hope their is another option.

Re: Tamiya Buggy Champ Kit Exclusive Edition
no I have always had Tamiya. My first hobby grade RC car was a Super Champ. it was first new car I ever bought new. and then a Wild Willys, Clodbuster all are sadly sold. With the New XX BK I just got I have all but the losi 4wd buggys so I started re collecting my tamiya's. my Lunchbox is one of my prized RC car'sGJW wrote:moved over to the dark tamiya side hey ricklook's wicked mate i like the gold body! bet they will fetch some good money in the future.
