Bit belated but great video, even from the thumb nail i could tell it was Whitby. I have bad memorys of playing with my Tamiya Bear hawk on Redcar beach, lost reception and off it took to the sea, lept into the water and started to paddle off to Norway!! Never ran again due to the salt water, just sits on the shelf now.
Thanks for watching, Whitby beach is a great place for driving RC cars. The salt water got into my Sand Scorcher gearbox and destroyed the bearings but I just rebuild and like new again.
Surprising the whole car held itself together, looks like you did a number on this car and had a lot of fun doing. Nice little video but I'm sure there was quite a bit of work done even for a short clip.
I had one of the originals when they were released. Sold it as a box of very well worn out parts about 10 years ago for a to of money. I have a few RC things now but a real hankering for one of the re-release Sand Scorchers. I don't need ridiculous speed bit that completely enclosed and waterproof battery box. Perfect for beach thrashing. I'm not sue how many modern buggies can do that.
My friend still has an original from way back in the 80's when a few of us had them. When the re-release came out j just had to get one. I have changed mine from standard quite a lot, it's always still fun to give it a run. You definitely should buy a re-release 😁😁
@@stugreen5334 you're going to cost me money, thanks a bunch :) I've seen Aluminium rear engine cage upgrade, new chassis plate and even a rear Diff! Which was a huge failure on the original, not having one It shredded the universal joints.
My pleasure on helping you spend your money 😁. Don't forget aluminium front bumper also 😁. I had to upgrade the plastic to a metal one because mine strip out a few times with the Extra power I put through it.
Just built mine I see you have coilovers on the front what shocks did you use? I used Kyosho Scorpion shocks on mine but the coils have plastic retainers. Nice footage classic Box art Baja! ✌️😎👍
I don't actually remember now where those shocks came from, I have some better oil filled ones now that don't leak and work really well. I got them from RC Mart. Thanks for watching 😁👍
Thanks for watching. Actually the crash at 1.05 cracked the roof slightly but it's my basher body so no probs. I have another good body for display purposes 😁😁
They hold up pretty well, the body will crack if it gets a hard impact but overall a fun car. Spares are relatively cheap and you can modify it easily.
Hi Stu, great video I'm in Stockton-on -Tees so not that far from you and Whitby is a great run out for us, wanted to ask what uprated shocks/coilovers are you using?
Hi thanks for watching. The shocks you see on it were just some cheap ones I found on eBay if I remember correctly. They look good but didn't actually work that well. I have some oil filled ones now that actually work really well which I got from RC Mart. If you want to know the part numbers let me know and ill look them up for you.
The part numbers are DSG-0060SV 60mm Damper Set For 1/10 RC Off Road Car Tamiya GF01 WR02 Kyosho Beetle. XS-TA29007BK 70mm Aluminum Front Shock Damper For Tamiya TT02B If you look on RC Mart there might be different ones available since I got mine, might be worth a look. I also upgraded the standard chassis to all aluminium to reduce the flex. And moved the steering Servo to the front of the car.

Thanks for watching, hope you get your Scorcher soon.

STU GREEN yup 😁
Awesome video, loved it. Surprised you didn’t damage the body!

Great tamiya video
Thanks for watching 😁
Simply amazing.....
Thanks for watching. :)
Was thinking of getting one of these, how do they hold up with more vigorous use, thanks.

@@stugreen5334 if its no trouble I would love the part numbers, the standard rear setup is so sloppy.
