- Drive review of the Tamiya Sand-Viper on 3300kv Brushless motor and 2s Lipo battery. This thing hauls! Even pulls a wheelie at one point.
I bought mine from Amazon via Horizon Hobbies for $158.50 amzn.to/3s1LCKc
You can also buy it directly from Horizon Hobbies or their sister site Tower Hobbies.

Great job on this build Ryan, it runs great, she's pretty quick👍
Yeah I'm real happy with the final outcome. Thanks so much for watching and commenting David!
Like #2 great buggy bro.. I’m really addicted to the buggy’s now
Cool! this is a great tamiya buggy that can handle a bashing.
It indeed can!! I'm loving it
Sick job mate 👍
Thanks so much for the kind words!
Hey Ryan. Hope your well.. Great build. Wow that goes well. I would love to see a speed run on the 2 and 3s.. left a thumbs up 👍
Thanks Rob! I plan to do that soon. I think it can handle 3s though I'm not sure if the tires would need glued. I wouldn't want to bash o it on 3s though.
A 19 tooth pinion is going to have less acceleration and more top end speed than a 17 tooth.
You're right. I've been getting that mixed up in my head for 35 years I've been building these kits. I don't know why I can't get that straight. Lol. 19t has more teeth so it'll move more gears so it'll go faster but it is bigger with more teeth so less acceleration. I just know that the 19t puts less strain on the brushless motor. Thanks for pointing this out. I feel stupid.
@@RDsRCReviews This is a good video, and I hesitated to post that comment because I really try hard to avoid being one of those "well, ackshually..." guys. Gearing is an easy thing to mix up.
@@jamesmcdonald2680 thank you and no worries! It needs to be corrected. I just keep getting it backwards. Car guys can be real sticklers too about correcting details. Lol
I like it! I am looking into a buggy I am just not sure what kit I want to buy but there are some nice sandbars across the river I wanna take it on. It is an awesome car and you are right 3S may be a biiiiiitttt much lol. It is so awesome to see a car go after you build it. GOOOOODDDD JOOOBBBBBB!
Thank you Clay!! I would look into the Super Astute or if you don't mind something bigger than the Blitzer Beetle or Monster Beetle
@@RDsRCReviews Not sure which brand kit I am going to go for but I have crawlers and bashers but no buggies and I have the opportunity to hit the sand bars as said. I also was thinking of an amphibious tank because alot of those bars have standing water and that would be cool.
@@lowlandraised7266 you should go with a Tamiya or maybe a Kyosho. They are so much fun to build.
Sweet looking buggy! Pretty quick on 2S.
It sure is, thanks for watching!
Very nice Ryan.
Thanks Greg!!
It really rips Ryan! Definitely 35+ mph! Some times these sensorless motors have delay issues! I bet on 3s it would almost be uncontrollable! Nice follow up on your build bro!👊🏼🍻👍🏻❤️😎 hope you have a great weekend!
Yeah I'm wondering if it is just cogging. I just haven't seen that level of delay on my other unsenored brushless lots of the same brand.
@@RDsRCReviews how’s the gear mesh?
@@BangForYourBuckRc seems fine
I just ordered one of these from Tower Hobbies a few minutes ago. Full bearings, CVAs, ESC, $20-off coupon...Seemed like a pretty good deal. I miss looking at the red-edged Tower pages in the back of RCCA from the late 80s / early 90s.
Me too!! I ordered all my Tamiya kits from Tower Hobbies back in the day. I got this one from HORIZON HOBBY which now owns Tower. Funny how both of those companies are in the same town not that far from me. I didn't realize it came with full ball bearings so I ordered a set of Fast Eddy's sealed ones that I used in this build. You can see all of that in my build video I posted right before this.
beautiful buggy😀👌👍👍😎😎
thank you!!!
I had a few of those goolrc power systems and they also had pretty bad delay.
Yeah it really depends on the gearing ratio and the fact they are sensorless
Nice work, Ryan! The buggy looks great in orange and sure goes well with that setup. :))
My comments are still being removed!!!
Well I got this comment so nice to see one finally posted! My friend David's comment vanished today though. Damn UA-cam!! Thanks for the kind words and support!!
Nice
Thanks!
Impressive buggy
Thanks Bryan!
The studder is what others call cogging. That's why racers use sensored brushless motors.
Yep I'm pretty sure that's what I said in the video though I was not certain. Oddly I don't see the cogging in my other cars with the same system but no doubt you want sensored if you are competitive. Thanks for the info!
Punch settings on the esc is preset to soft.
I believe that but my program card isn't compatible with the ESC and I'm unaware of one that works with it.
looking to build one in this color with the same electronics lying around! it stutter because the esc/motor is sensorless.. :)
Yeah that's correct though oddly I don't get near that much cogging in my other goolrc sensorless brushless kits so it threw me off a bit when it happened. I just finished my 4300kv Blitzer Beetle build today using the same GoolRC combo but with a 4300kv motor and I'm not noticing the cogging yet but I've only driven it indoors so I won't know for sure until I get it outside. Thanks so much for watching and commenting and best of luck on your build!!
How about replacing that cheap esc with a hobbywing wp-10bl60-rtr esc? I have done that with my Tamiya dn01. I have one of these cheap esc now that I think about it… I have it in my wltoys 104001 paired with 3660 3300kv motor… it does that delay cog thing.
Yeah you make a good point. Oddly I don't get that cogging in any of my other cheap systems including my Blitzer Beetle with the same esc and a 4300kv GoolRC motor. It is sensorless so cogging is to be expected though it seems particularly bad in this one. Thanks for watching and commenting! I'm really liking those smaller and cheaper blue esc's they are often unbranded. They work great for $20 and so far I've seen no cogging from either of them.
Replacement wheels are really hard to get right now. I wont be gluing any tires :)
You should be able to find plenty of aftermarket wheels that'll fit
You want to see wheelies with a brush motor watch my videos. It really should glue the tires.
So far I see no issue with the tires slipping so I'm not going to worry about it
Did you have a GPS I like to see what the GPS time is on it?
Yes I have a GPS speed reader which I plan to use to get the top speed soon.
Is this car still available cuz I thought it was discontinued?
I bought it from Horizon Hobby just a few weeks ago via Amazon.
That delay is weird, i had the same setup in a 2wd stampede ran flawless. But think of the delay as a drivetrain saver..... You could also easily run a 4370kv motor with that smaller pinion.
I believe it is cogging since it is senseless though I don't notice my other cheap ones doing that.
Have you tried a 17t pinion to resolve cogging issues?
No, I have you admit that cogging is a bit new to me. Can't it also be caused by the motor being sensorless? I'll look into it. Thanks for the tip.
I see your point though. The gear ratio affects how noticeable the cogging is. It is likely geared too high. Being that I used brushed motors for years this was never a problem. I suppose the easiest fix would be to switch it to a sensored motor.
@@RDsRCReviews Running too bigger/taller pinion gear can cause cogging. Try a 17t or lower if possible. Let me know if this works👍
@@RDsRCReviews Yes cogging can be caused by sensorless motors but can sometimes be resolved by running a smaller pinion.
@@Lander76 yes that's also that I've read. It is a sensorless brushless issue but the gearing causes it to be more or less noticeable
Maybe you should retest it reset it up.
Retest what?
You're going to wear out those tires real quick if you run that on the pavement I mean at least the rear tires.
Yep! I mentioned that several times in the video. I was shocked I didn't see any signs of wear after this run.
Cheap esc
Yeah it is but I have had no issues with that same ESC in my other cars but the cogging is bad in this car but I don't have that issue in any of my other builds using the same cheap ESC
@@RDsRCReviews GoolRC (Surpass) QC isn't the best my friend
@@NWguy83 you don't think I know that? I realize they are cheap but I've had few issues with them. They work fine for casual backyard bashing but lately I've been using some other cheap esc's with better success. They all work just fine on 2s with the exception of the cogging on this build. If I were going to drive competitively I would use something like a Hobbywing
