Prehistoric dinosaur - TAMIYA Super Champ.
Hee hee... can't believe my uncle gave me this master piece of the 80's, I was only 4 years old when i see this car blasting around the sandy beaches infront of our house back in 1982. This radio control definately a collectors favorite item. Must be worth thousand by now if bid over the internet!. The chassis construction was 100% pure solid metal alloys, very durable and the mechanical engineering apply to this models is very solid and tough. Its like owning a pickup truck rather than a toy. Even its an electric powered sand buggy but the built was almost nitro fueled like chassis. The shell need a bad fix on front but that's a minor problem can be covered with DIY patch.

PART 30: Ready made under carriage kit
Here's a 2 years old readily made under carriage kit for the new 4x4 models i'm working on. It should attached prefectly just below the chassis with high lift kit. Its looks familiar because this kits already existed two year ago and have been used by previous models such as the old XENO CD 8.0 XL-R. Its has well balanced amount of polycount both complexity and optimised polycount on necessary corner of the meshes. So recycling it again for the use on new models is a wise decision and also save development time which helps to speed up the delivery time.
