novaturbo 0 Posted November 8, 2009 I'm 26 now, but when I was about 8 years old, my dad got me a second hand RC car, it had a fiberglass chassis with alloy parts, and the most distinctive thing I remember was a bottle of fluid on the rear with a hose to a shock. Now i've revived my interest in RC cars i've been trying to find out what car that was, and only yesterday I found photos of the Super Champ, and i've finally found it! Hopefully they'll also re-re the SC and i'll be able to own one once again Keith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeeMiller 1 Posted November 8, 2009 I reject reality and substitute my own: "They are not gonna re-release the Sand Scorcher-, the Ford Ranger- and the Super Champ-body". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Badboy 94 Posted November 9, 2009 I guess WillyChang is getting an upswing on SS decals soon? As soon as Tamiya reveal the boxart/sponsor decals we know if we need to order!!! O'boy, o'boy o'boy!!! Badboy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WillyChang 1812 Posted November 9, 2009 meh, to be honest wasn't a huge popularity spike on the SRB sets when BC came maybe i could layout a single sheet just for SS i'll go draw up some "53" roundels anyways Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badboy 94 Posted November 9, 2009 meh, to be honest wasn't a huge popularity spike on the SRB sets when BC came maybe i could layout a single sheet just for SS i'll go draw up some "53" roundels anyways You will probably hear from me soon!!! Badboy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VagabondStarJXF 350 Posted November 9, 2009 i'll go draw up some "53" roundels anyways 53 roundels? Hmmm. You might have to add a set for me too! I can't wait until release day for the 2010 Sand Scorcher body sets. I can't see Tamiya changing the things that made the SS body unique so I'm sure they'll look near identical to the original. Actually... I wonder if there'll be a t-shirt release like the Buggy Champ. If there is I might just have to preorder a kit aswell. Oh my poor bank account... with this and all my other projects I'm sure its torture is far from over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Live Steam Mad 16 Posted November 9, 2009 Tamiya only have to walk downstairs into their "museum" showcase and see that the Scorcher body is different than the body produced with the tooling that they used last time with the Blitzer Beetle, it should be really obvious to them, and they should know all about it even though 30 years have elapsed. At least I hope! Regards, Alistair G. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
