Who doesn't want a Sand Scorcher?! One of the most collectible model ever made by Tamiya. I always wanted one but even with the re-res at $300, it still isn't cheap. So the plan was to find a roller at a good price..

The first hobby grade RC I ever saw in my life, was when I was riding the city bus at 12 years old. There was an older kid maybe 14-15, sitting in the back of the bus, with the Tamiya Sand Scorcher box in his lap. All I could see was the side of the...

Ordered the primer for this project on May 3rd - along with some other Tamiya colors from Amain, them being in Chico CA, and me being less than three hours away from there. Turns out their paint was shipped from Omaha NE, and is still listed as...

Hello . I am getting ready to assemble a sand scorcher kit. Any comments on is it worth installing the ball diff upgrade #54897. Thanks.

Last post

as above , it works on hard surfaces but they tend to come loose as the adjustment is not on a nylock nut as usual but has a screw with dry locktight , you need additional locktight on the screw or it works loose and you loose drive .

The Tamiyaclub Community Scorcher wasn't just a body. Many, many TC members donated parts to the car to build the chassis and suspension, then Pleiku68 plated the metal parts in rhodium and gold. The project took 4 years from the first parts being...

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...

Last post

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?

shodog - I am so sorry for my blindness, I...
