Tamiya Sand Scorcher (2010) Radio Control buggy 1/10 scale (58452)
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.
Key Features: Vintage Styling with Modern Updates
• Iconic Baja Buggy Body: The detailed polystyrene body accurately reproduces the unique form of the Baja-style buggy, moulded in white and ready for custom paint using Tamiya plastic model paints.
• Durable 2WD Chassis: Built with a 2mm thick FRP plate and reinforced with an aluminium plate, the chassis offers a blend of strength and flexibility for stable performance on rough terrain.
• Independent Suspension: Features front double trailing arm and rear swing axle setups, with die-cast suspension arms and oil dampers for smooth handling and shock absorption.
• Full Ball Bearings: Equipped with full ball bearings to reduce friction and improve efficiency, ensuring smooth and responsive movement across surfaces.
Realistic and Rugged Off-Road Setup
• Clear Plastic Mechanism Box: Protects electronics and battery from dirt and debris, making it suitable for outdoor adventures.
• 3-Piece Center-Lock Wheels with Ribbed Tires: Grooved front and ribbed rear tires provide excellent traction on off-road surfaces, adding to the Sand Scorcher’s authentic off-road capabilities.
