My Tamiya Buggy Champ build
- stages 6 to 10
These pages show the build of my 2009 Tamiya Buggy Champ, roughly in the order of the instruction manual pages. Click any image to view it larger...
(This page continues on from the build stages 1 to 5).
Above: stage 6 is the assembly of the four piston rods to go inside the oil filled dampers.
Above: stage 7 instructs you how to assemble and fill the four dampers. Take care with the oil or risk a mess! Fortunately the correct filling procedure is shown clearly in the manual.
Above: stage 8 sees the roll bar/rear guard assembly joined to the gear case and the rear dampers fitted. Starting to take shape!
Above: stage 9 is the fitting of the chassis plate. Although a tougher GRP material is used in the 2009 version, the same basic plate with aluminium reinforcing plate underneath is the same.
Above: stage 10 is assembly of both front axles with lower and upper arms.
