I hadn't planned on showing this until I had a complete roller....but since it's slow....
I decided to build this one as a "what-if" car. If they chose the stealth car platform and made it available, there would have likely been a champ and a team car. Ignore the wheels, this is how I envision the team would have gone. Dogbones (like the first truck), bearings, hard shocks with black anno caps, tq wheels, plastic trans brace and black ano motor plate and guard.
I do plan to build a what-if Champ next, with three piece wheels, bushings, and a msc

I like the concepts you are playing with. It's too bad Associated didn't follow through with this kind of stuff BITD.

Here's my question to you all. What would the champ chassis be? Should I start with an aluminum pan and trim it? I don't think g10 with kick up ever happened besides kyosho and other imports. Carbon is too nice for an entry level. Im leaning towards a tub

The color is gonna kick my butt. I agree with gold....but black is sooooooo much easier!

Way too late for the '91 era tho. I had considered it tho, much cheaper pans!

I like those wheels and tires on this kit. When I get some spare cash I plan on building one of these. Now I know what what I'm putting under it.

G10 fiberglass chassis would be cool as a sport model.
