I got my Buggy Champ in two weeks ago. I took a look through everything and it's great that Tamiya really stayed true to the original. I will most likely build it using a bit of vintage and new aftermarket parts. It will get one of my aluminum rear cages and an aluminum front bumper skid made by Tamiyaclub member. I also have a set of Paragua aluminum wheels. I just need to find the time to build it. My Motorcycle project has consumed all my free time.
Jimmy is right, with the production costs on this chassis, this chassis will be around a while and I would imagine Tamiya will try to pimp it in as many ways as possible. The writing it on the wall, I bet we see a Scorcher release by Christmas.
