"The only one..."


For me and a lot of others, this car represents the golden age of Tamiya RC models...
The sand scorcher is the most collectable of all the tamiya buggies with mint unused examples worth around $1000+ , Body parts can be difficult to source and they are one of the harder paint jobs to do .
