Finally took some pics of my Buggy Champ Re-Re. It is a gold edition with some proper Wheel covers and wheel screws and a nice bumper. Very fun to drive, especially without the diff !

I believe the bumper and the whells are not included in the original package

Where can you get those wheels? I've seen them on the Sand Scorcher and they look awesome!

The gold edition has a gold plated body. Those wheels are stock with exception of those killer wheel covers

I got the wheel covers from this ebay shop:

The Bumper is from RC4wd.

What battery do you intend to use for the car?
as the battery compartment is too small and my lipo bat cant fit in

You could use a sub c size hump pack or a lipo from a rc18T

I managed to get one of the new original tamiya LIFE packs (the small one pictured on their web page), perfect for that model.
