I build the best Tamiya Sand Scorcher EVER.
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
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:

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.

SLUG BUG!!!
That is impressive. The rust on the exhaust is great.
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
Good news Matt, finally found a new Sand Scorcher kit in stock. I couldn't press buy now quick enough.
Matt my boy, you knocked it out of the park. It’s Amazeballs !!! Love it.

The running video is just magic !!! thank you Matt
It's amazing. The cherry on top is seeing it run!
Looking good running!
I think you nailed it on this build!! Excellent work 👍
First SRB I ever got to drive was back around 1987, five minutes of Tamiya hump back battery fun😁. They’re such an awesome experience to build and drive, amazing job on this!
Beautiful paint job
Beautiful. This has got to be my favourite build of yours. Keep it up
Probably my favorite car you have ever made. I always stare at it in background of videos. Simply amazing
awesome looking rig - congrats to that build - well done job
Great build! My first hobby grade RC was the Rough Rider so, this build brought back a lot of good memories! RC equivalent of a Restomod. It turned out better than I could have imagined! 👍
79 all over again. Well done Matt!!! I'm looking forward to the documentary.

Matt, I can’t believe you didn’t mention the Lunchbox. That’s what I think of when I think classic Tamiya
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!

Thats one fantastic take on a timeless legend, love it, great running shot at the end too 👍🏻
Man thats probably the best tamiya sand scorcher customization I'd ever seen period!👌🤯👉❤freaking gorgeous!
My all time favourite car, love what you did with it.
Congrats on a great build!
Totally awesome run video! And love the Scorcher dude!
Looks so good!!!
Looks great!
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.
honestly. That's just beautiful!
Great looking bug !!
Great build , great video 👍🏻
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..

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.
We can tell how special this was! 🔥🔥🔥
Matt. Loved the running video. Neat little build. Looking forward to the Tamiya history lesson!
Love the Oregon plates
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!

Awesome running vid Matt, liked! And maybe my favorite of all your builds...definitely top 3! I still have my original SS which I built in 82 and picked up 2 more along the way. Nothing says more tamiya than the SS, I really enjoyed this series of videos.
Awesome work as always! 🤙🏻

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.
Awesome build. Been fun watching the live builds.

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.

The Tamiya Rough Rider was the first 'real' RC that I purchased and put together. What a great kit and an even better tribute build! Thanks to SBG for the great content :) Cheers, Jeff (Garage Maker Guy
That roll cage and interior is next level sir.
Nice job.
All show no go lol, next we need to get Ampro a book on suspension geometry and make a V2 that actually works off road. I got to give it Ampro we need to get him a Job at Tamiya his skills and attention to detail is amazing. #AmproEngineering 👍

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. 😁👍😎

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!. 😂 🇨🇱👍
Wow...That's totally amazing!!! "I'm dialed in Dude"
Enjoyed watching the vintage run, now I need to rewatch the build videos. Thinking of getting that Prusa i3 soon, just trying to figure out where to put it. Thinking of putting it in the garage in case I need to make an enclosure and vent it outdoors for certain filaments.
Awesome!! This is the top rc channel on KZread Hands down.

Another homerun Matt can't say much more than you already have but you nailed it !
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!

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!
That fellow looks pretty nice ! Better saying : SUPER Sand Scorcher !!!! Cheers from Germany
Great remake! Shippy would be proud!
Damn, that's even cooler than Herbie!!!! Absolutely amazing looking car. 🤘🏻
