Tamiya Sand Scorcher. Scorching new trails.

Here's my Sand Scorcher in action again, one of Tamiya's most iconic rc vehicle of all times. Because of the extra parts and details, the weight makes it tricky to handle. The performance is still surprisingly good though, considering it's only rear wheel drive, has Beetle-like suspension and the 30 year old design. The spool makes up a lot too. Anyhow, it's big fun to drive on just about any sort of terrain.
Some interesting specs for those who are interested:
Motor and electronic speed control are stock.
Receiver: Prafa Excel 2 AM 27 mHz.
Steering servo: GWS IQ-610MG
Homemade front and rear wheelwells, floorpan, dashboard, parcel shelf, safety net, front bumper with skidplate, complete exhaust system and protective side view mirror cages.
Tamiya NiCad 7,2V 1700 mAh battery pack. Resoldered from stickpack to hump pack.
The LED kit is from Graupner, the tail light internal reflectors are homemade.
Engine is 3-D printed.

And most of all, sit back and enjoy!
