tri_fin 0 Posted January 25, 2015 Hi, I am trying to source a body post for my Sand Scorcher so I can use the Super Champ servo saver as detailed here: http://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=58289 I found that a TC member made some a while back but he doesn't have any more. Anyone know of alternative source or even something else that fits? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
njmlondon 570 Posted January 26, 2015 if you find one do let me know! I have exactly the same plan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tri_fin 0 Posted January 26, 2015 I am not sure if there are any around. I have looked pretty hard but if there are any out there I think this is the place to found out. So far, I have a picture of one from the guy who made some a few years ago but sadly he doesn't have the dimensions anymore. I think a new Sand Scorcher post just needs slimming down (on a lathe) to fit the Super Champ servo saver. I wanted to see if I could find a ready made post before buying a new post and then trying to get it machined down. If I do I would be happy to get one done for you at the same time.

njmlondon 570 Posted January 26, 2015 I have been comparing the posts from the manuals and I think you are right. It would just need lathing down to the same size. Unfortunately I do not have a lathe! Do let me know if you press ahead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TUFTOUR 2 Posted January 28, 2015 Seems some folks are looking to do this... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TUFTOUR 2 Posted January 28, 2015 Just figured out how to post pics and respond...a bit complicated from other forums, lol. Regardless, I bought one of those Super Champ to Sand Scorcher posts a long time ago...I think it might have been one of his first ones. Almost done with this model, just waiting for some led light kits then will be painting it Key Lime Green Pearl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TamTom 367 Posted January 28, 2015 I have got a mini lathe in my cave. Is it just about to turn down the shaft of a stock SS Body post to fit the SC-Servo saver? I have a SC-Servo saver somewhere but no SS Body post to make a test run. Let me know if it is still required so I could make a test start though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
