Its seems as if there is a recurring theme. Put the two words Sand Scorcher in front of any auction and watch it sky rocket. I am glad that not everyone knows about the compatibility among some of the parts. J3

Yes and isn't this illegal. Maybe some copyrighted laws violated? Same guy. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=1777991419

Well do. Thanks alot guys. I sure do appreciate the help. John

OH OH Can I play. Just under $1000 actually about $900.

Has anyone used the BF on the windshield? My SS is basically epoxied in place and I am concerned that I will not be able remove it without destroying the windshield. John

Hi Sean: How did the pinstrips do around complex curves? I've alway had a problem with those. John

Excellent pix. John

that makes sense. Thanks for heads-up.

Has anyone ever used brake fluid to strip paint from a NON-Lexan body? If so, has anyone ever used it on clear plastic(ie the windshield)? The reason why I am asking is because I received my SS Body from Canada and upon further inspection, it paint appears to have been applied with a paint brush (Ouch). The only good thing about this is the under the paint, the body is flawless and the paint seems to peel away in most instances. However, the windshield appears to have been epoxied in place. I can not think of any way to separate the windshield from the body without causing harm to the windshield or body. Any help would be appreciated. John

Why would anyone do this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=1777526142 when they could get one here http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti00...=1&I=LXGB21&P=7. Hmmm

Good point. However any other time.

Sweet Deal though even if it is a lexan shell.

I've notice the same thing. It seems that way with parts as well. I remember back at the beginning of the year, there was flood of Sand Scorcher Paddle Track tire sets. I remember seeing one go for $30USD. Doh!!!

When I last checked there where no bidders.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...1774936794&rd=1

I finally won a Sand Scorcher. Yahooo!!! Not too bad of a price if you ask me. I've a Yellow/Red Body set coming in from Canada. Life's good. Pix to follow. John http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...1774449107&rd=1

Great thanks alot guys...

Hello all: I purchased a Bear Hawk on Ebay about a month ago and I am getting ready to run this. While testing to see if everything work, I noticed that the gears within the gear box are excessively loud. I believe that it the same gear box as my Blitzer Beetle which is as quiet as a mouse. What's causing these gears chatter like this and what can I do to stop the chattering Any help is appreciated. This will be my sons runner . P.S. There appears to be ample lubricant on the gears themselves. John

I have some but they are not the same color. Two sets red two set yellow. Email me off line if you are interested. John

LOL Quick someone put an opening bid of $1500 USD...

Gosh I feel out of place here. I have 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad cab. Its a full size pick-up truck for you non-USA blokes. It has a 5 speed manual with a 318CID V8 engine.

Well, I wonder if anyone has thought to a reproduction of these tires. For instance, I see reproductions of the Rough rider rear tires on ebay all the time for <$10 USD. Why not these? John

Are the tires that on the original Wild Willys the same tires that are on the rear of Sand Scorcher, and Grasshopper Just curious. John

I have had mixed dealings. * brought a pajero for $75 back in Jan. It look like it was sanded with 30 grit sand paper. Oh well, live and learn. * Brought a falcon under the pretense of Tamiya 1941 Ford and it was in suprisingly good shape for $29 found a Falcon body set in Japan for on $20. Once I get this it will almost new. JOhn
