The re-released 2009 Buggy Champ 1/10 Off-Road 2WD Buggy Kit is a nostalgic journey back to the roots of RC off-road racing, capturing the essence of the original "Buggy Boom" that started in 1979. This revamped version not only pays homage to the classic design but also incorporates modern improvements for an unparalleled experience. The realistic scale-molded body, die-cast metal and clear resin fully enclosed gearbox, and metal roll bar contribute to the authenticity of the Buggy Champ.

The 4-wheel independent suspension, with front double trailing arm and rear swing axle setups, die-cast suspension arms, and oil dampers, ensures optimal performance on various terrains. The inclusion of full ball bearings minimizes friction loss, while the grooved front and rear tires with a block tread pattern offer superb off-road capabilities. This kit is not just a collector's item; it's a must-have for retro buggy enthusiasts, racers, and admirers who appreciate the blend of vintage design and modern performance.
For retro buggy collectors and racers, the 2009 Buggy Champ stands out as a special addition to their collection due to its authenticity and the incorporation of contemporary features. The metal oil-filled shock damper, die-cast metal suspension arms and uprights, and the option to choose between two gear ratios (6.5:1 or 9.3:1) provide versatility for different driving preferences. The kit's completeness, including the 1060 Hobbywing ESC and a 540 motor, makes it an attractive package for those eager to revive the classic buggy experience.
