Class 5 1600 Desert Racer (part 1)
Continuing the current 'trend' for desert racing/baja beetles, here's my work in progress Super Champ/ Scorcher Hybrid.
There's still quite a few jobs to do but she's now at least starting to look like a car! Most of the time consuming bodywork is done (smoothing and reshaping the nose took far longer than I thought) but she's almost ready for my favourite part - the paint! I'm planning on having her finished for the Dorset beach bash with Rad and Whopper later this month - best I pull my finger out!
I'll list some better pics and I'll provide some more detail on what I did when she's finished!
Comments always appreciated!

I love the look thus far, the details like screen and air filter do so much to make a scale vehicle look real. Nice work!

Very nice Baja Racer. A separate category should be applied, to have them all together.

Gonna be almost too nice to run!
chef_bikes
To some perhaps, but I build 'em to run 'em! That's the whole point of RC cars!
Volksrod
What have i started??!!!! Looks ace matey, would like to see more shots of the front end. Ive got another racer being built at the moment on a champ chassis, love the bulky back end. Nice work!
Westy
Wow looks great!

Wow, this is neat looking. I really got to get some bling wheels for my similar project. The addition of the airfilter is great

Sweet mate. I love it! What did you use for the window netting? Another for the Volksrod School of Scorchers

Nice one! I've got something similar in the works as well. The Super Champ chassis with Bug body is just about spot-on for a real racer. IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT, JOE!
Badboy
As Volksrod said I also want the front end!!! Also looking for some headlight pics!!! Awesome!!! Where did you get those wheels from? Nice one!!! Cheers, Badboy
chef_bikes
Patience chaps! I'll post more pics showing the front when I've done a bit more. Wheels came from the Jedi Master of alloy and all round good guy 'rad22rad'.
