Many thanks to Ampro Engineering for supplying a lot of the parts for the conversion of this Tamiya Sand Scorcher! It truly might be one of the best builds I've ever done. This is a re-creation of a car that I wish I knew more about, I found it on the internet and have been trying to track the owner down for some time. If you know anything about it, please post below!
This started as a Tamiya Sand Scorcher, but has become the most scale Sand Scorcher possible courtesy of the cool parts I've added. Be sure to check out all the videos that I've done on this build:

For me, when I think Tamiya I think Sand Scorcher and Hornet. Hornet was my first car at 14 and the Sand Scorcher was the one I could never afford. Even now the Sand Scorcher has almost mythical status in my head and now I have one. I am 54 and can afford to get one and do it right. Tamiya has bought me untold hours of education and fun over the years. I have learned model making, painting, prepping, electrics and how to drive them just to name a few. I have been in RC for 40 years and am an exec at a large computer company. It matters not your background or current status. RC is the great unifier. Thanks for this vid. I know it's three years old but your brother Shippy loves it, I can feel it.

@scalebuildersguild 25 дней назад

Thanks man! I'm a huge fan of Tamiya as well and have plenty of videos on the channel. Hope you enjoy the mythical Sand Scorcher!

Dude, love your builds. This one ... just ... perfect. I mean, the build, Ampro, your weathering, ugh, just love this one. Thank you for doing you. Always a treat to see what you're up to.

Love it! The Sand Scorcher was my very first RC Car, back in the mid 80's. I bought it from a friend for £30 iirc lol I need another!

@scalebuildersguild 2 года назад

Very cool! Do you still have it?

@ChrisLee-UK 2 года назад

@robbiebobster9672 3 года назад

Good news Matt, finally found a new Sand Scorcher kit in stock. I couldn't press buy now quick enough.

@RCPMK 2 года назад

Yup. Bruiser, Sand Scorcher, and Rough Rider for sure. My dad’s neighbour let me drive his Rough Rider when I was about 9. It blew my mind. Real suspension. Metal parts. So fast. I could barely believe such awesomeness could exist. The best I’d ever seen was something from radio shack Awesome build! My LHS has one new in box. Very tempted

@oldsonrc8744 3 года назад

Love watching the suspension work. Beautiful work master Matt . Your camera work was none too shabby either.

@scalebuildersguild 3 года назад

Thanks my friend. It was actually more challenging than usual to film the running video. It was crazy hot and no matter how much thread lock you apply, these little guys like to throw the axles.

@maxm1417 3 года назад

Matt! That soil study (because you did it) on each of those running location made this one not only scale but perfect. Not to sandy not to firm just the correct surface for this build. My favorite one by far!

@scalebuildersguild 3 года назад

Thanks for that!

@713Ace529 3 года назад

Hey Matt the Rear angle looks like I’m watching a movie. Cool. You did an awesomeness job. I think you got Herbie jealous though!. 😂 🇨🇱👍

@pellelindholm4496 3 года назад

And Matt does it again... Not only do you serve a class AAA build but the style you film it in and how you edit it after is simply stunning. I've followed the build and the finale you just shown is bang on the money. You should be proud... Not many in this part of the hobby of Scale RC can even come close to what you produce. Either they are top notch builders (quite a few of those) but utterly useless on filming/photo/editing or the other way around. The complete package like you display is very rare.. Very rare. A fantastic job. Can't wait for your next one. 😁👍😎

@brandonreid4511 3 года назад

Couldn't agree more 👍🤜🤛

@heavyCRC Год назад

One of my favourite builds of all time. Just something about a sand scorcher. I’ve watched this video multiple time to convince myself to get one

You should get one!

@davidcrabtree4970 3 года назад

I've been a little board with the hobby for a few months. Seeing this tho put a big smile on my face. Maybe I just need to explore something new to me other than crawlers.

@csj9619 2 года назад

That puppy is the cat's pajamas! I'm a big fan of VeeDubs and also like Tamiya kits, so think it's cool somebody created an upgrade for the Sand Scorcher. Really dig the front beam, Bobcat exhaust and OG VW dashboard.

@RCFunEveryday 3 года назад

That is so freaking cool, I love it, not even just because of the tribute but as a build in itself, I've often longed for a Sand Scorcher, but can't justify the price over here in the UK... Awesome work, digging the music vibes too, hopefully someone can find the 1:1!

@scalebuildersguild 3 года назад

Glad you liked it!

There is something satisfying and cool about watching you build these trucks (livestreams) in real time, and then watching them rip. Idk why but it’s nice. Looks amazing.

@scalebuildersguild 3 года назад

Glad you like them!

@joss67uk 3 года назад

This is such a sweet build, modernised but still has its soul, I like it a lot. The old school 70/80s Tamiya stuff always puts a smile on my face, Super Champ, Rough Rider, Sand Scorcher and top of my list the 4X4 Pick up.

@scalebuildersguild 3 года назад

@DrGorillafist 3 года назад

I feel like it's the best example of yours of a true scale build. It's great to see how (deservedly) happy you are with it! Watching the running video, I swear I could hear the engine and the squeaks and groans of the chassis....awesome work! Also, everyone should most definitely check out the weathering video...learned a lot from it..

Man this is one seriously BEAUTIFUL Baja Bug!! It's easily Top 3 Baja Bugs I've ever seen 👌 I wish I was deep enough into building already to do something to this level 👍 I just got into RC last summer and get outta hand buying haha I've 'stopped" for now at 11 RCs in Nitro, Gas and Electric so just been getting into the building side of everything it's just been hard getting into it as I have no local friends or hobby shops to help me 👎 Only a few more RCs coming and then ALOT of spare parts, upgrades and tuning 👍 Can't wait to find my local place to meet fellow RCers as I broke my neck in a car accident 1 month ago so I'm off work doing nothing but RC! Great video as always brother 👍👍👍 sorry for the paragraph!

Ooo! Love that chassis! And all the features on that model are exceptional matey! I'm having trouble making PETG print properly. But I'm thinking about using Iron filled PLA, so I can rust it more naturally. Plus I'll be upgrading the Marlin software in my printer soon anyway, so we'll see if that helps.
