Tamiya 58452 Sand Scorcher 1/10 - Retro Off-Road Kit  [58452]

Classic Driver Appeal: Tamiya Sand Scorcher 58452

The Tamiya Sand Scorcher 58452 is a faithful nod to a landmark RC buggy, now back as a kit that appeals to both restorers and active drivers. It retains the iconic dune buggy look while offering components that are straightforward to maintain and upgrade.

Robust frame and faithful dimensions

At 400mm long and 230mm wide, the model keeps the compact dune buggy stance. The chassis is built around a 2mm FRP plate reinforced with aluminum for added strength. Suspension uses independent architecture with a front double trailing arm and a rear swing axle, plus die-cast arms and oil dampers to smooth out rough ground inputs.

Tuned for traction and serviceability

Ball bearings across the drivetrain reduce friction for cleaner power delivery. Grooved front tyres and ribbed rear tyres are specified to provide balanced grip on loose surfaces. The white polystyrene body is paint-ready for custom liveries, and the three-piece wheels with centre lock nuts make wheel servicing simple.

For builders who enjoy a vintage silhouette with upgrade potential, the Sand Scorcher is a practical and characterful platform.
