Last year I restored my 1980 rough rider. Sure I used some rere parts, but they were made by Tamiya.
-
I just grabbed one at my usual LHS today.
-
Tamiya is all over the place on this issue. Some bodies are sold with nothing, Some come with stickers, window masks and plastic parts tree. Hit or miss depending on the body and price does not mean that it comes with everything.
-
I would try to find another body. Poke around the net or ebay.

Blazing blazer and the Lambo.

The stiffening plate should be more than enough. I got one from rcmart last year for my original rough rider which I restored. Those plates make a big difference.

I restored my 1980 rough rider last year and built my own NiMh hump packs. I bought NiMh cells with welded tabs, solder bars, tamiya connector pack and wire to build 3 packs. Plus shrink wrap.

Sorry to hijack the thread but… That’s what I’m wanting to do at some stage. Out of interest, what rims did you go with?
#106191 - MK.8 V2 WHEEL BLACK CHROME(4.5mm OFFSET/2pcs)
HPI racing wheels
BLITZThe new V2 short course wheel range from HPI simplifies tire assembly and adds extra tuning power to your racing arsenal!
This new design uses the same HPI and HB tires and foams that fit the original HPI short course wheels, and have the added advantage of increased outer sidewall stiffness for better traction and handling in the turns and curves of your local off-road track.
Use the HPI foam inserts without the inner ring for a secure fit and ideal track tuning!#106191 MK.8 V2 WHEEL BLACK CHROME(4.5mm OFFSET/2pcs)

Tag, for when I build mine.

Gotta love a snow covered yard full of buggy tracks.

I put the Hoosier racing slicks on my blitzer, but I do have a set of Potenzas for one of my comical buggys.

If you have had it this long, clean it up and keep it. If you sell it, you will regret it. Buy a new buggy for the kids.

I bought a rere frog and it's in my to build pile. I have a factory painted body and the body that came with it will be painted green, because frogs are green. If you don't like the pink then paint it some other color. If you don't like your frog at all then sell it to someone who will appreciate it..

Rough Rider, sand scorcher, cheetah, hornet, grasshopper, lunchbox.

To me the Frog is legendary Tamiya. It's to me one of the Mount Rushmore buggies - The Grasshopper, The Hornet and the Frog. They all have design flaws sure. But they are durable fun to build and drive. The Frog has a nice low center of gravity and I always found it a blast to drive.
It can be made to look beautiful but I am partial
As long as you include the rough rider on that Mount Rushmore, we good.

Is anyone selling a 3d printed grille for the MKII?

I wouldn't mind the comical SandScorcher, but the 3D one they displayed at their show was not as cool as a chopped one, imho..
Actually, I like that one.

How about a comical sand scorcher or rough rider?

The early Lambo.

Yep it's due to the chip shortage.
Has Tamiya ever re-released the Rough Rider?

At some point they will make another rere run of the rough rider/buggy champ. They could not use the rough rider name on the rere due to licensing issues.
