Absolutely glorious video and soundtrack. This will have to tide me over for a few years more, until I've got the spare money, bench space, technical and driving chops, a few free weekends at the park or beach reserve, the list goes on... but in the meantime thank you OP for sharing the joy!
I just got one as a present today. I bought a friend a blackfoot. He bought me the sand scorcher😀 i love these cars. It feels like childhood, so many memories
Haven‘t finished my Sand Scorcher yet. But i went to work on it again in the last couple of days. The chassis is finished since a long time. Now the body… i want to take it slow and really enjoy the building. What a great rc car to build. Great relief from stress, slows me down takes me back in time when things needed patience. Many details, planning and decisions to make. Very enjoyable video thanks again
My favourite sand scorcher video so far! I've quite a collection myself as I had one when I was a kid, best one they ever did in my opinion, I love the music too, it was on a film called caddyshack in the 80s 👍👍
the sand scorcher is a very nice scaler but not my first choice to bash with 😉 i would prefer a traxxas bandit or slash 2wd. they are not that cool but durable 👍
@@rcadventuresunlimited I have understood why the Scorcher is so damned expensive. I have thought of putting a body on my cheap FTX buggy and jacking it up with big wheels etc
Awesome video! It would be insane to put a servo on the drivers head so he could look out the window at the camera, look forward then gas it! Or he could be looking where he was about to go!
You're aware that the front suspension is really based exactly like the beetle of that era the srb chassis's stock can take 9.5brushless the gear box stock can handle it. Love all srb chassises wish I could afford them.
@@rcadventuresunlimited Very cool and thanks. A brushless setup will be awesome for sure! Many years ago I used coilover shocks to replace the torsion bars and stock shocks, it completely changed how it handled and drove so much better over rough terrain.

@@NZSam85 thank you very much for your kind comment. i really love this buggy. i wouldn’t miss it in my collection 😁 go for it 👍
This was the first RC car I saw, on the beach, in Santa Monica 1984.
I was blown away.
Still cool as ever.

Great Video!!! Excellent sound track!! Love the Scorcher! But please, fix that rear left tire.....making my OCD go crazy!! lol
thank you very much for watching and your support 👍👍😉 i appreciate you liked it 😁
I still love the wheelspinning and sand flying off as you take off. Brilliant. Wish I'd never sold mine back in the 80s
thanks dude 👍👍 i really love that buggy 😉😎😁
such an iconic car , they just look sooooo good in box art , great fun to run as well , the way the rear bogs down under power
thanks for watching, i love that car but you are right with the performance of the chassis. anyway … a fantastic car 😉
Excellent video my friend. Your Sand Scorcher looks perfect on the beach 🙂👍
thank you my friend 👍👍 i am glad you like it. Index to work on the suspension performance 😉😀
love it as i own one. great video
i love it too 😉😁👍 it is a fantastic rig
Great stuff …can’t wait to get mine on the beech
thank you … have fun with your one 👍👍😁

@@rcadventuresunlimited your Welcome 😉👍
A work of art, nice ! Thank you.
thank you very much 👍👍i appreciate you liked it 👍😀
yes, good idea. i put the body on some other chassis as you can see in some of my videos 😉👍

have a nice weekend
I like to run my cheap FTX/Rlaarlo type buggies on sand but not sure I'd want to with one these, a bit too expensive i reckon.

Real nice and I love this haha bugs 👍👍👍🐢🐢🐢
thank you dude, i really like this little beetle too 😉😁👍👍
Great video. Rear torsion bars could do with a tighten by twisting so it doesn’t sit so low at the back all the time.
thanks for the information dude 👍 the setup is really not the best at the moment 😉😎
yes but for traction this is the best way to do it amigo...
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe
Thanks for the sub and for watching 👍👍 i appreciate you like it 😁
Very relaxing.
thank you 🙏 have a nice sunday
Great video, I think it's time to fix my Sand Scorcher 😄😄
yes, go for it 👍👍😉😁 thanks for watching my rc friend
Awesome video!

i love that fantastic buggy
have a happy new year 👍🍀🍾
I have done that and have video on my channel 😜

thanks for the great comment and information. like to bash brushless with the beetle on the beach 😁😉😎
Is this a Tamiya 😅 hope your can make a Thunder Boomerang W10 in RC Conversion 😅
oh yes it is a tamiya 😉😁😎 and i love it. thanks for watching
Very cool is that the stock motor and ESC just running 3's?
yes it is, but now i want to install a brushless system 🏎🚀😁
@@rcadventuresunlimited Very cool and thanks. A brushless setup will be awesome for sure! Many years ago I used coilover shocks to replace the torsion bars and stock shocks, it completely changed how it handled and drove so much better over rough terrain.
@@mikesrcgarage thank you for that information 👍 i should do that too
go for it 🚀👍😁
what is the turning radius? can it handle sharp turns?
yes it can, best way is a drift 😉😁
Recommend 2x speed
thanks bro 👍😉
Is it that slow or did you just feel the need to film it in slow motion? WTF
it is actually fast with a 3s lipo battery and … yes, it is slow motion 😉😎
