I got this Super Champ some time ago from a mate who is also into RC cars, but not really into Vintage..
The story is that the original owner bought this Super Champ BITD, ran it a few times then smashed the original body shell, so he bought another body to display it on a shelf and never ran the car again..
When I received it, it had all of the usual vintage SRB problems, broken bumper, rotten tyres, but overall it was pretty clean for its age.. I did disassemble and clean the entire car before reassembling it, with the only re-release parts being the bumper and tyres.. It could probably do with another thorough clean and light polish again now, but I am reluctant to do that until I get it behind glass, as the dust just seems to gather too fast otherwise..
Anyway, I am calling this one complete for now.
If you liked those pictures, you should see these...
Almost there......

Awesome! Love the Hornet shocks! How do they perform on this?

Mad-Bee, I have no idea how the Hornet shocks perform as I have never driven it.. However I do feel that the springs may be a little soft for a runner.. I only left them there as a tribute to the original owner..
