Originally released in 1979, the Tamiya Sand Scorcher captured the hearts of RC enthusiasts worldwide with its unique design and innovative mechanics. This 2010 re-release stays true to the original while incorporating updated parts for improved durability and performance. The Sand Scorcher replicates the classic buggy style seen in the Baja 1000, with a highly detailed polystyrene body that can be customised using Tamiya paints. Built on a sturdy 2WD chassis with realistic off-road capabilities, this model provides thrilling performance that perfectly captures the spirit of the original.
