Tamiya Sand Scorcher 2010

Tamiya has been known for over 30 years for recreating the most beautiful, fastest, and most popular cars as models. Thirty years ago, the legendary Tamiya Sand Scorcher in 1:10 scale was dedicated to the Volkswagen Beetle. In 2009, to celebrate the 30th anniversary, a Tamiya fan turned the tables and built a 1:1 scale replica of the Sand Scorcher. This unusual replica was showcased at the 2010 Toy Fair.

The anniversary model from Tamiya is offered as a kit, just like 30 years ago. The technical foundation corresponds to the original model, but there have been some innovations for the Sand Scorcher 2010, such as new wishbones, wheel carriers, and a modern electronic speed controller. Additional components have been reinforced to ensure contemporary stability for the 40 cm long model. Standard equipment includes a robust fiberglass chassis plate, an extensive set of ball bearings, a durable electric motor, and oil-filled shock absorbers. The design of the plastic body remains unchanged, which is sure to please not only nostalgia enthusiasts.
