The main body looks to be made of poorer red plastic than the white Scorcher one.
58060 stamped nose cone but the main body with 2 front holes and rear scorcher 2 holes on the top. molded like the sand scorcher with a full set of holes. not really fun. a small deception...

I saw that mentioned somewhere else, and it surprise me that Tamiya does not take the time/money to do a proper MB shell. I can understand reusing the re-re Sand Scorcher, but not leaving the SS holes in it...

6 holes when only3 are needed. And it is à pour plastic qualité thinner than the ss looks like à low cost toy...

Some hole-filling and a nice paint job is required then

yop. the manual says applying decals

The swap is ended.


It is not a fav but a nice wild one bad painted full ball bearingsnice tires



and the surprise: the technigold is inside


a m02 wich needs work. and the body with lights and a monster beetle pilot needs to be restored from a to z.




a pair of kyosho msc.

No. 4 (well actually the 2nd Tamiya also have 2x Graupner but still those are all the same Mabuchi RX-540VZ)

You can't beat a Technigold when it comes to vintage looks and performance!

I even managed to source 1 set of spare brushes and the brush tool. Currently in the mail. Good thing Graupner had the same parts in its program, those still turn up every now and then for 'normal' €$£¥

I think that I have a technigold tool in a spare box if you want.
