Tamiya Sand Scorcher Re-Re Build

[Sunnyside]

Time to fix one of the bugs.

[Sunnyside]

opened the box only....tired already. So I packed it up for the night.

Milk bottles came in handy!

The screws and nuts seemed much bigger in the 80's.

This bug is going to be build for trashing at the sea side.

Feels good to build a legendary model that has retained 30 year old designs today.

suspension system....unbelievable.

[Sunnyside]

Almost done.

Tires drying, after a wash.

Hi guys, I ran into problems at the rear wheel.

How the hXXX did you guys managed to insert the center wheel into the rear tire? I am taking one day MC for finger numbness

I can't remember having this problem with the Buggy Champ.

Thanks guys!

Kiong23 at rctech suggested stretching the tire over a cone or bottle over night. So I attempted. I pushed the tire over a bottle but could not wait!

So I tried the plastic tire lever from my MTB kit.....the outcome was positive with much struggling of course.

Wheels are done...finally.

[Sunnyside]

Minor disruption from WO.

[Sunnyside]

Electronics is next.

[Sunnyside]

Electronics done. Now for the paint work to begin.
