One of the iconic Tamiya cars. It's so nice that even my family didn't complain when I wanted it !! It was under Christmas tree in 2014, built along 2015 and still working on the inteiror. Has new alu wheel covers, and soon I want to include alu bumper and engine replica.
Nice! Never get sick of looking at an SRB original or re-re all look fab! Would highly recommend the rc channel ALU front bumper I've bought 4 of them they really set the scorcher off!
Nice one! I'm working on converting a Buggy Champ I got in a trade into a Sand Scorcher runner. I was too scared to attempt the body so I have a buddy doing it for me. Cheating? Probably...
This body is one of the most dificult ones I have done so far. I dedicated hours to sand it properly, removing all molding marks, etc. Then priming, wet sanding, paining, wet sanding...The 'ovals' in the front hood took me out of my nervs. But I believe it worth it.

Will you be painting the rear lights?

I'm doubting about paint or install clear orange and red lenses for the lights kit. Most probably second option.

very nice, but if you painted the driver and installed the tail lights, it would be perfect.

Very nice, RC4WD sell the best box art front bumpers.
