Tamiya Sand Scorcher VW Volkswagen Beetle Baja

This highly collectible 1:10 scale radio control Tamiya Sand Scorcher is almost complete, and in a very good restorable condition.  The bodyshell has never been used, but only coated with grey primer.  The tyres and rims are brand new, and never used.  The chassis consists out of the fibreglass & aluminium plate, front & rear suspension, gearbox, motor and protective plastic casing for the electronics, unfortunately the front servo cover is missing.  The rare front and rear bumpers are also on the chassis.  Please feel free to ask any questions, they will be promptly answered! 

From Wikipedia:

The Tamiya Sand Scorcher was the sixteenth 1/10-scale electric radio controlled car kit released by Japanese model manufacturer Tamiya Corporation. First introduced on December 15, 1979, its high level of detail and realism make it one of the most sought-after vintage R/C models today.

Topped with a highly detailed plastic replica of a VW Baja Bug, the Sand Scorcher shared many parts with an earlier car, the "Rough Rider". Released a little over a month apart, both cars were constructed from components that were mostly metal, rather than plastic. Though heavy, this meant the Sand Scorcher was extremely rugged. Adding to the model's detail was its suspension system which was closely patterned after that of a full-scale Volkswagen. All on board electronics were protected by a water-resistant clear plastic case, meaning the car could be driven through water without damage - a feat very few modern R/C vehicles can perform.

Of interest to both R/C and VW enthusiasts, mint-in-box examples of the Sand Scorcher command prices from US$2900 to US$5100 as certain original parts for this model are nearly impossible to find in brand new condition.
