Why the Kyosho 30831T4 Sand Master is great for new drivers
The Kyosho 30831T4 Sand Master is a straightforward, durable 1/10 electric 2WD buggy aimed at those learning the hobby. It pairs nostalgic styling with practical engineering so you can start running quickly and maintain the model without fuss. The design focuses on durability and ease of use so drivers can focus on improving their skills.
Retro styling matched to a tough layout
Inspired by classic buggies, the Sand Master combines vintage looks with modern convenience. Snap-on panels let you change the body or access internals fast, and the car is sold in black, white and purple with extra panels available separately. Built-in diff gears and adjustable gearing make it resilient to everyday use and easy to tune.
Stable handling and gentle power delivery
The 22-turn 540-type motor supplies controlled power that is well suited to learning throttle control. A double wishbone suspension with friction shocks helps the buggy cope with uneven ground, and bead lock wheels mean tyre changes do not require glue, simplifying tyre swaps.
Simple setup with onboard radio
With the Syncro KT-200 2.4GHz radio system already installed, you avoid frequency issues and the pre-configured ESC reduces setup complexity. The one-touch battery hatch also makes battery swaps quick between practice runs.
Potential for upgrades as skills grow
Owners can extend performance by fitting oil dampers, different motors or other hop-ups, which makes the Kyosho 30831T4 an adaptable platform for progression.
