I live the VW Baja look! The cars are great! You did a fantastic job with the paint!
Tamiya makes some great kits!!!

Very well done. Congrats on your first build. Looking forward to many more out of your shop. Oh, and fitting selection too for your screen name 'Daskraut.'

Welcome to the forum in case I'm missed your intro. -AC

Obviously, your build strikes a chord with me. I have a soft spot for the Sand Scorcher, which is what I started out with around 1981.

It's a perfect RC car.

Even though the steering is goofy, the chassis is wibbly-wobbly, the body is hard to paint and super fragile - it looks great and proves that scale cars could also be radio controlled AND work on dirt. I love this car.

I also owned a Super Champ and a Rough Rider. But the Sand Scorcher is more charasmatic in my opinion.

It would make perfect sense to add a Kyosho Scorpion to the retro side of my collection, which everyone tells me is far superior to drive.

That I may actually use as a fun rig to use with the kids, whereas the Scorcher is obviously a shelf queen!

Nicely done!
