Description
Please Note:

This kit comes without an ESC, Servo, Battery, Charger, or Transmitter and will come with an unpainted body that may require cutting, painting and drilling.

The Buggy Champ, which sparked the 'Buggy Boom' upon its 1979 release, makes a triumphant return in an upgraded form. It remains faithful to the original's fundamental design while integrating contemporary enhancements and meticulously crafted components produced through newly designed metal moulds. The new Buggy Champ features a transparent housing that shields the internal mechanics and battery, along with grooved front and rear tyres featuring a block tread pattern. The lifelike body is constructed from white ABS plastic.
