Hi all

Although my heart starts pounding more & more for the RC10, I thought I could post this Sand Scorcher.
It has a MB-body and the chassiparts have been beadblasted. I painted it with 2 different grey (German Grey and Hazel Grey) since I just wanted to try something that is not really "typical". It also has alu-rims from Pargu and the look great, the guy is really good in making good looking rims I think!
Hope You´ll like it and have a great weekend!

Absolutely incredible 'Scorcher!

I saw the photos of your car on another sight, and used one as my desktop background a few weeks ago.

I hope to join the Sand Scorcher crowd very soon.

Excellent photography.

It looks like we have similar tastes in vehicles:

That's awesome I love the detail of the hard bodies. Really nice job, looks very much like a real car.

I like the look of the chassis from what i can see under the body Lets see a body off that would be a great technique to use on a the re re coming.

Thx a lot all!
Yes, the Beetle hardbody is stunning (all 3 of them, the Scorcher, Monster Beetle and the Blitzer Beetle). I just notice that I wrote "Monster Beetle" in the title but it is a Blitzer Beetle body!!! Sorry! I assume it is because I am restoring a Monster Beetle right now so the word "Monster Beetle" is still in my head!

that is beautiful
I hope tamiya releases something with a beetle hard body in the near future. I don't care exactly what it is, but with the re issue buggy champ, a lot of folks will be looking to do something like this, and you have certainly given them something nice to try to emulate.

Wow Tobbe, that's nice. Great attention to detail. You're photo skills are top notch too.

That's got to be one of the nicest SRB Ive ever seen

Wow, thank You all so very much, I am very happy that You liked it!

That is simply beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing.

That looks fantastic! Looks like a hoot to drive as well. Great attention to detail.

That's an incredible build. If you're ever looking to trade, I may have a few RC10's to offer for that!

Fantastic looking! It almost looks like a CAD rendering.

That looks nice and clean. The grey color Reminds me of someone who has done a bunch of body work to his bug to get it ready for paint but still needs to drive it to work. Did you make the front bumper?

Hi Tobbe,
this is one scaler I won't say No to. It's replacing Rizzo's sand scorcher action shot on my desktop (sorry rizzo, but it's been there for months already).

Still: it looks a bit blurry on the desktop because of the low resolution. Tobbe, any chance I can download a higher resolution picture somewhere?

PS: Pargu makes nice wheels, and you make very nice pics (and cars ofcourse)
