RE: Tamiya Buggy Champ 2009 Resource Thread!

I'd be happy to help out anyone that I can, time permitting. I don't want a hobby to turn into another job.

RE: Tamiya Buggy Champ 2009 Resource Thread!

I think I figured it out. This is the original Sand Scorcher I picked up on E-bay. I will tear it completely down for a re-build once I get the new one finished, but I did get some new tires, install...

RE: Tamiya Buggy Champ 2009 Resource Thread!

I've found couple of brushless conversions guys have done looking while searching the web. It would be nice to get one set up so that you could program the throttle curve to go easy on the...

RE: Tamiya Buggy Champ 2009 Resource Thread!

I started on the Sand Scorcher for my son, this mod takes a ton of slop out of the rear end. I drilled and tapped the shock screw hole all of the way through to the counterbore for the extra bearing,...

Yeah, they'll be bead locks once I fit them to the center sections. I'm going to make another set to fit Sand Scorcher tires.

RE: Tamiya Buggy Champ 2009 Resource Thread!

I almost have my Buggy Champ done per the instructions. I have an original Sand Scorcher here for comparison and the first thing I notice is that the re-release front suspension has a way sloppier...

RE: Tamiya Buggy Champ 2009 Resource Thread!

I machined some solid wheel halves to spruce up the stock plastic wheel centers. I want to use these for another set of tires. My question is, what tires are available that will fit Buggy Champ...

RE: Tamiya Buggy Champ 2009 Resource Thread!

My wheels came in yesterday. Today I fabricated a skid plate, and finished the paint on the body. I think I'm going to leave the driver out, I never put him in my Rough Rider either.

Skinned, I like those wheels a lot. Where did you get them?

RE: Tamiya Buggy Champ 2009 Resource Thread!

The ball diff is the main thing I'm waiting on. BTW, is there someone that paints details like the dash panel and the driver? My hands aren't steady enough, and my eyes aren't sharp enough to do that...

I'm still waiting on parts, but I started on the paint, fabricated a new skid plate/bumper, and began assembling the camber correction kit for my Buggy Champ.
