Tamiya 58452-60A Sand Scorcher Off-Road Favourite 1/10 2WD Kit  [58452-60A]

Heritage Off-Roader: The Tamiya Sand Scorcher Reissue

The Tamiya Sand Scorcher, model number 58452-60A, is a heritage model reissued with updated components to improve longevity while retaining the classic silhouette. This 1/10 scale 2WD buggy captures retro appeal without sacrificing essential functionality.

Faithful Design with Useful Improvements

The kit preserves the trademark ribbed front tyres and paddle rear tyres for predictable grip on loose surfaces. Its common chassis lineage with the Buggy Champ makes part swaps simple, and full ball bearings come standard to reduce friction across the driveline.

Structural Build and Motor Specification

A Type 540 motor is the specified drive unit, matched to a duraluminum plate and a 2mm thick FRP main frame that provides a sturdy base with controlled flex. Die-cast front and rear arms, axles, and wheel hubs are fitted for improved durability over basic pressed parts.

Practical Details and Access

The detailed hard plastic body echoes the original styling, and a transparent case covers the electronics while allowing quick access through cam lock fastenings. The redesigned oil dampers along with reinforced front uprights add to the kit's robustness for rough use.

For hobbyists who want a nostalgic ride that is also practical to run, the Tamiya Sand Scorcher is a reliable platform offering easy maintenance and upgrade paths.
