Apologies for resurrecting an old thread - I want to buy my first airbrush.. the thread points to an airbrush still available from eBay via a reputable model seller... Do people rate this still? I don't own an airbrush or compressor so just want to check if anyone has any other recommendations? I don't want to spend more than this. Just want one for RC cars and static models.

Have a look at the recent thread which has lots of Intel / info on sand scorcher wheels and alternates... "Aftermarket tires for the Sand Scorcher" . The build looks fantastic btw.

BC wheel set and tyres ordered thank you all. Now just waiting for the car to arrive...

Cheers, Its the rear tyres ( & suitable wheels) I was after. The ones that have "sand blaster 915" on the side. On the basis ( & massive assumption on my part) the sand paddles are designed for sand and with the front smoothies would be a bit rubbish on tarmac. So whilst waiting for my re re to arrive I'll look for a buggy champ wheel set.

Thanks all, so do you think it possible I could buy buggy champ tyres and they would fit rere sand scorcher wheels that come with the rere kit? I don't live near a beach and I want to run the scorcher with a kamtec bodyshell, wheels for carparks etc. and buy some alloys and but the paddle tyres on there for when it's on shelf duty.

I like these tyres , what are they? Sorry I couldn't follow the nomenclature used....

The bearing upgrade you suggest is a good shout before you start because they are integral to the build. I too did one of these as my first and the most satisfying upgrade as an engineer was changing the front drive shafts and hubs to become proper CV joints because it removes the "clatter" from the standard front dog bones when steering. It can wait though and is easy to retrofit and the car drives fine without them.

Is RC channel based in Taiwan? If so does anyone know is there anything to look out for tax or customs wise when ordering from them to the UK? E. G. Is there are a price threshold it makes sense to stay below?

. Thanks that's very helpful

A bit of a noob wrt. the SRB, can you tell me is this a suspension upgrade over what's in the re re sand scorcher kit or is it for repairing restoring originals?

I'm looking at getting one of these, any more tips or progress?

Completed the Rebuiltd of y neo scorcher : I fortunately had a spare bathtub that I bought just in case. (After driving this into an invisible steel post.) . and everything else was salvaged or I had a spare, the YR lower arm is a bit distorted so won't be featuring any more.

Nor me.. ... Probably a stupid strap line but just sharing how my afternoon went. Hopefully the rest of the year will go fine!

So for those who like a little schadenfreude

Ground zero... First time I used this venue, got my three boys up and running with their sand vipers and then fitted my battery did half a circuit in my tt02b and discovered this post.
