Terra Scorcher
I do like these, nicest looking of the 'Thundershot type' of buggies I reckon and one of the many Tamiya's I wanted as a kid. This one was a very reasonably priced purchase from Ebay. Has a brand new shell fitted and looks lovely. Just needs a couple of parts replacing to make the whole thing mint. I'm not sure I like the wheels that have been fitted so need to find some good condition originals (some gold ones would be nice!) but overall I'm really pleased with this one.

Nice Terra Scorcher, one of my favourits as well. Got one new built and one runner. Very formibadle runner specially with the tires you have. Original white wheels are almost impossible to find though. Yours seems to miss adjustable front arms btw.

@Winniez. Just noticed the front arms, something else I need to sort then. The front UJ's are still present so thats a bonus. The original wheels do seem hard to come by so I may fit some Hotshot wheels as I think these look really good with them.

Very nice. I recently flogged some new in pack goldies. Whites are rare so you may need to settle for blacks. If you do get the correct wheels, you'll need the correct tyres (OFF ROADERs) coz the wheels are a funny size. This was a nicely spec'd up kit so you've got a goodun there.

I just want to say I hope that has gone to a good home. I thought alot about not selling it. Good price is an understatement. bargain of the century lol. Love the star dish wheels on it. Kinda made me not want to sell it lol

@Mr Cossie, I promise I'll give it a good home. Plans are to return it to original spec i.e original wheels and replace the front bumper to make it perfect. As its so clean it'll probably spend its life on the shelf. Really am pleased with it though and a great ebay purchase experience. You certainly packed it well (the cats loved all those packing chips!) Thanks again for the chance to get this great model.

The Star Dish wheels look so much better on this car than the originals - lovely shell, cool wheels and tires...
Mr Cossie
Any chance that yuo would consider selling it back to me?
