Overview

Please Note:

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

Originally released in 1979, the R/C Sand Scorcher was greatly received from fans around the world with its humorous form and superb mechanism. Keeping true to the basic layout of the original while incorporating many refined parts, this re-released version of the Sand Scorcher will remind you of the original. This model realistically reproduces the unique form of the buggy which was seen at the one-make race at the "Baja 1000" in California, USA.

The body is moulded in white polystyrene and can be painted with Tamiya plastic model paints. The rear-wheel drive 2WD chassis features realistic and aggressive driving performance. The chassis features a 2mm thick FRP plate with an aluminium reinforcing plate for strength and flexibility. 4-wheel independent suspension features front double trailing arm and rear swing axle setups, die-cast suspension arms, and oil dampers. Electronics and battery are protected by a durable clear plastic mechanism box. Comes equipped with full ball bearings, and mounted on the 3-piece centre-lock wheels are grooved front tyres and ribbed rear tyres.

Note

This kit comes without an Electronic Speed Control.

This body shell can be painted using the Tamiya TS series of lacquer paints. Polycarbonate paints such as the Tamiya PS series will not adhere and/or cause damage to the body shell's surface.
