How does it drive?
Will an RC10 walk away from it like BITD?
L8r,

Dude! You know better than that! It's no racer, and you have to be smooth on the gas. The Frog tires really help (clip off the side knobs!). The car is bad on braking bumps due to the torsion bar but still very fun to drive. With a lipo and black can motor, it jumps nice and flat.
What the hell is BITD?
Best In The Desert?
Back In The Day?
Beat It To Death?

I just found out on Friday, that the demand is so high for the Buggy Champ, that Tamiya is doing a second production run. A Tamiya dealer told me we may see a Sand Scorcher or Ranger in March.

I have a feeling the Sand Scorcher will be available by Christmas. Its the 30th Anniversary for the Rough Rider and Sand Scorcher and what better way to celebrate it by releasing the VW for Christmas
