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:

    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

    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. 😁👍😎
