Classic Dune Racer Returns in Expert Built Form

The Sand Scorcher has a storied place in RC history, and the Tamiya Sand Scorcher 2010 Expert Built version aims to retain that vintage appeal while providing durable components suited to regular running and display.

Period-Correct Appearance

This 1/10 model faithfully echoes the original silhouette, featuring ribbed front tyres and paddle rear tyres to reproduce the handling and look of early off-road racers. The detailed bodywork captures the era's distinct character.

Reinforced FRP Chassis and Suspension Details

The chassis uses a 2mm thick FRP plate reinforced with an aluminium plate for added stability. The suspension setup includes front double trailing arms and rear swing axles, with die-cast suspension arms and oil dampers to manage rough surfaces reliably.

Practical Running Enhancements

Key running features include full ball bearings to improve drivetrain efficiency and a clear plastic housing that protects the electronics and battery while allowing easy access for adjustments and maintenance.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Length: 400mm
  • Chassis: 2mm FRP plate with aluminum reinforcement
  • Suspension: Front double trailing arm, rear swing axle

Collectors and active hobbyists alike will find the Sand Scorcher 2010 Expert Built a satisfying blend of authentic looks and practical components for enjoyable runs and display.

The Expert Built model does not include a radio set so you can fit your preferred transmitter, receiver and servo configuration.
The 2mm FRP plate with aluminium reinforcement provides a good balance of toughness and some flex, suitable for recreational off-road driving and light impacts.
Many hobby retailers stock compatible 3-piece centre-lock wheels and period-style tyres; check tyre diameter and fitting specifications when ordering replacements.
While it makes an attractive display piece, the Expert Built Sand Scorcher is fully runnable and equipped with components intended for actual off-road use.
