Product Information

Also I would be interested in Alloy rims for her, can someone point me in the right directions as to where to find these? I'm hoping to be able to tap into the strong following for the brand here in Hong Kong, so I hope I can find most items locally.

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. Cleaned the shell, touched in some of the paint, lacquered, wet sanded and polished before waxing. I wanted to keep the "patina" - warts and all! wheel independent suspension features front double trailing arm and rear swing axle setups, die-cast suspension arms, and oil dampers.Since the Sand Scorcher and the Buggy Champ use the same chassis, the spare parts are interchangeable. Originally released in 1979, the R/C Sand Scorcher was greatly received from fans around the world with its humorous form and superb mechanism. Following on from the release of the 30th anniversary Rough Rider, Tamiya is now proud to announce the imminent re-release their classic Sand Scorcher.

Sealed gearbox is made with die-cast and clear plastic parts and has built-in motor and gears, featuring superb protection against dust. Still a couple of bits to do - I need to make a sunroof, and will fit the exhaust from the rere bodyshell I have.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 molded in white polystyrene and can be painted with Tamiya plastic model paints. The rear-wheel drive 2WD chassis features realistic and aggressive driving performance that will no doubt excite you. Unfortunately the front bumper broke - on inspection it was carrying a very old injury! So I made one out of aluminium. I'd also read that the chassis flex can stress the shell so I made a strengthening plate out of ally, and shaped it so it matches the sills on the shell. I'm really pleased with it Front suspension features die-cast suspension arms and double-trailing arm setup as well as grooved front tires. Length: 400mm, Width: 230mm, Height: 180mm　●Wheelbase: 250mm　●Tread: F170mm, R175mm　●Tire Width/Diameter: F21/73mm, R41/82mm It's quite interesting comparing this rere shell with the original. The original does have a much nicer shape to the fenders I think. And I think i'll paint the wing mirrors, they look a bit too toy like in the all-over chrome.
