Sand Scorcher To Rough Rider Conversion

[mattnj]

Hi,

Having spent hours and hours restoring a SS from eBay, i have decided that i dont really like it! and wish it was a rough rider.

Can you guys please confirm the exact differences, as i am going to get on eBay and make it into a rough rider!

Thanks

Luckily for you, there isn't a lot of difference!

The RR didn't have the exhaust mounted on the rear cage, the wheels and tyres are different..... The fronts will be the biggest problem, and seem to command quite a premium on ebay, as they are fairly unique. As far as I remember, to mount the body, you only have to remove the SS front body mount post, and then the RR body mounts to the servo post.

I've been thinking about getting a RR body for my SS, just to have the best of both worlds

Good Luck Matthew

Thanks, Which is the one with the rear shock and oil resevoir on the back?

Are you really saying the only difference is the body and tires? Sounds too easy for Tamiya.

Yeap, it really is that easy

The one with the oil bottle on the back is the Super Champ. The oil bottle is there to keep the rear monoshock topped up with oil. The Super Champ essentially looks similar to a Rough Rider, but there are many differences! I use my Super Champ for my Avatar
