Tamiya 84164 Sand Scorcher 2010 Expert Built Classic Dune Racer 1/10  [84164]

Revived Dune Classic: Tamiya Sand Scorcher 2010 Expert Built

The Sand Scorcher returns in an Expert Built format that keeps Tamiya's original styling while improving structural reliability. It is a faithful 1/10 scale recreation for enthusiasts who appreciate retro design with modern attention to build quality.

Authentic Retro Styling

The model reproduces hallmark features like ribbed front tyres and paddle rear tyres to deliver the visual and functional character of the original dune racer. The body shape and detailing honour the classic era of RC design.

Solid Chassis and Suspension Layout

Underneath, the car uses a 2mm FRP plate chassis reinforced with an aluminium plate to resist flex. The suspension features 4-wheel independent components with front double trailing arms, rear swing axles, die-cast arms and oil dampers to cope with uneven terrain.

Useful Modern Components

Full ball bearings reduce rolling resistance across the drivetrain, while a clear plastic electronics box keeps the battery and electronics protected yet easy to service. The 3-piece centre-lock wheels complete the period-correct look with practical reliability.

A great pick for hobbyists who want a period-correct dune racer ready to run with sensible modern upgrades and straightforward maintenance.
