Tamiya 58452-60A Sand Scorcher Collector-Grade 1/10 2WD Buggy Kit  [58452-60A]

Timeless Sand Scorcher Reissue by Tamiya

The Tamiya Sand Scorcher, model number 58452-60A, is offered as a reissue that honours the original's design while incorporating select updates for better longevity. This 1/10 scale 2WD buggy remains popular among collectors and active RC builders.

Retained Style with Functional Updates

Key styling cues like the ribbed front tyres and paddle rear tyres are retained to deliver the characteristic traction profile. Because the chassis is related to the Buggy Champ, spare parts are easier to find, and the kit includes full ball bearings to enhance drivetrain efficiency.

Mechanical Layout and Motor Details

The specified motor is a Type 540, a common and dependable choice for classic buggies. The chassis uses a duraluminum plate paired with a 2mm FRP main frame to ensure structural integrity while permitting controlled flex for off-road damping. Die-cast suspension components strengthen the steering and wheel mount areas.

Authentic Finishing and Easy Access

The hard plastic body reproduces period detail, and a transparent receiver case keeps electronics visible while allowing quick removal through cam locks. Updated oil dampers and reinforced front uprights add resilience for regular running and light competition.

This Tamiya Sand Scorcher suits those who want an era-accurate model that is practical to maintain, with straightforward upgrade paths and widely available replacement parts.
