It's beginning to look alot like Christmas

[Shodog]

It was like Christmas today at the Shodog household.  It was almost too much excitement to bear.  The Two Super Champs showed up.  The Knight Hauler, 2 Multifunction units and the Aluminum wheels I ordered from Stellamodells.  Last but not least the two Packages from Tower hobbies containing two four channel radios and some extra Buggy Spike and Sand Paddle tires I included in the order so that I could hit the $149 mark and get $25 off each order.

WOW [Y] ! How do  get on that "Santa's List" !  That is some load of goodies.  Well done.  Are we going to see a build-up thread of one of those Super Champ buggies ?

[clarkey]

Every one loves a build up thread [Y][]

Seriously though nice one imagine that would have been some christmas as a kid [] 

[Mad Ax]

Ooh, one with a rough box to build, one with a tidy box to put on the shelf!  How convenient []

Let's have a build thread of the Super Champ and the Hauler, please...?

[Old Busted Hotness]

You must have been extra good this year. Nice haul.

[Madmat]

Woah, Nice haul there, How much did the super champs set you back?

[Dr.Robotnik]

Wow that's one amazing Christmas. I'm down with the build up request too. Any build thread will do. Lol.

[Corpse Thrower]

Thats some stash you have there mate......

Lets see a build thread on that rough box Superchamp!!

[Shodog]

All of this started with $200 I got from my mother-in-law, a few smart buys and some of the parts I have been hoarding in boxes for a few years. 

I won the super champs from eBay for $600 and $700

The more I look at the rough boxed SC the more I want to build it but how do you justify tearing into blisters that have been sealed for over 20 years?

[Corpse Thrower]

Think of them as being imprisoned for 20 years and you are setting them free[]

One NIB is extravagent. Two is depriving an object of fulfilling it's function in life.

Free the Super Champ one! Then it can laugh at the other one all stuck in it's blisters, unable to feel the grass on it's tyres and the wind in it's resistor. Bwahaha. I'm free and you're stuck in a box!

Ahem.

 

[clarkey]

Yes i have to agree set one free it would be a just cause to cut those blisters if you document the whole build for us. Plus who better to set it free and make it sparkle i love the super champ and cant wait to see if you do build it

Nothing a good old X-acto no.11 blade cant do for you[], You'll still have a NIB super champ to look into so you wont regret it that much at all!!

[Corpse Thrower]

Shodog, think of it like this:

If you don't build it and document the build process, you are denying every member of this forum that in no way could find or afford to buy such a kit the chance to experience building a fresh out of the box Special Racing Buggy.

The iconic Tamiya chassis.....the most desirable series of all.

Would you really deprive your fellow members of this experience? Hmmmmm????

... but how do you justify tearing into blisters that have been sealed for over 20 years?

Can Tamiya's blister glue be steamed open?

Never tried it meself.
