TOPIC:

In the summer of 2008 I bought a Super Champ from Mr. Anderson in Vermont USA, cost me around 160 euro and I was very pleased with it.

The pictures





When received





Wheels wrongly mounted

As some of you might notice, quite some parts were missing or from other SRB's







I needed to find parts and found most in Great-Brittain from Andy if I remember it right, he still has a store stores.ebay.co....4340.l2563















Bought this whole buch of screws just for the alu pieces in the middle

Ze Build







Some 'ant-fu*king' with tiny ballbearings

Und ze final build (in 2009-10) I got some better parts and changed them for my SRB runner (The ''SuperSandGrass Rider'' )





















The last one

I can only say that this is quite a brilliant thread.
Almost get a case of SRB fever from it.
Very entertaining too with all the pics. Cudos.

A Super Champ is on my wish list ... nice to see one in bits to appreciate the differences with the other SRBs - I haven't seen one close up since 1985

Nice! Dunno why, but the 'champ never seems to be as popular as the other SRBs on Ebay. Seeing the pics though, I might have to have one now! Incidentally, aluminium rod & tube is usually stocked at most model shops, Ebay & RS (Amongst other places) & it's easy enough to drill & tap without particularly specialised equipment. Like Edou said, invest in an M3 tapping set, you'll be unstoppable then!

Nice build!
The Super Champ is one of my favourites. I am one of those that do not count it as a SRB, as I think it is too different from the others (the SRB's)

One question: How did you clean the gearbox parts and other pot metal parts? They came out very nice.

Hello Lars,

I cleaned the potmetal parts with cloth, a toothbrush and some soapywater. An old T-shirt and some hard rubbing does the job too.

The aluminuim parts were polished ..

I am sorry to disagree with you, but the Superchamp is just a 'special' SRB in my opinion . It has a 100% identical MK2 Sand Scorcher/F-150 front end, same gears, just some minor changes all over the rear just to make the special suspension workable.

and Eddrick, the Superchamp still sells for 300-500 dollar, while the Sand Scorcher and Rough Rider can be bought for much less because of the re-releases
