If there's one Tamiya classic that every RC enthusiast knows, it's the legendary Tamiya Sand Scorcher with its iconic blue and white VW Beetle body. The original was released in 1979 and is considered one of the most desirable models among collectors.
Fortunately, Tamiya released a reissue for its 30th anniversary, which is still available today. The technical basis of the SRB (Special Racing Buggy) chassis is the same as the original model, but the 2010 Sand Scorcher features several updates, such as new and improved wishbones, wheel carriers, and a modern electronic speed controller.
Other components have been reinforced to ensure the 40 cm long model's contemporary stability. Standard equipment includes a robust fiberglass chassis plate, a comprehensive set of ball bearings, a durable electric motor, and oil-filled shock absorbers. The design of the plastic body remains unchanged, which is sure to please not only nostalgic enthusiasts. The design, reminiscent of the Baja Bugs of the 1960s, is simply unmistakable.
We at Tamico believe that the Tamiya Sand Scorcher is one of those cult classics that every Tamiya fan should build at least once in their lifetime.
