chrisk5 1 Posted August 12, 2012 well after months of chasing parts, repairing and painting the body, polishing parts and painting teh driver, i have finally finished teh super champ This was my first ever car when i was a kid and regretably sold it years ago, only when getting back into RC again and realising the silly mistake i did by selling it. finally i found one good enough and cheap enough for a restoration I have two more very minor items to do on it, 1. install an on/off switch, 2. install the tie rod from servo to servo saver, still trying to find one well here it is and i am happy of how it turned out 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

djmcnz 754 Posted August 17, 2012 That's a good looking SC, and a nice restore job - was it much work from the base you had? I like the rear-end treatment, I've never owned a SC, is that stock? And what are the cable ties for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrisk5 1 Posted August 20, 2012 Thanks for the comments, DJMCNZ if you look down a few more post in this Vintage thread you will see progress shots from beginning and after each lot of changes i made through the restoration. There was a bit to do through the restoration, but that was the fun part of it, repairing bodies, scouring the net for parts, etc so all fun and i am happy of how it turned out. The rear end is stock, that is how teh original SC came out, very heavy rear end, all alloy. The cable ties only allow the rear end to droop so much, now for another restoration Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
