Tamiya 58452-60A Sand Scorcher Retro-Inspired 1/10 2WD Buggy Kit  [58452-60A]

Sand Scorcher Heritage Reissue from Tamiya

The Tamiya Sand Scorcher, model number 58452-60A, is presented as a heritage reissue that preserves the look and character of the original while adding sensible refinements. This 1/10 scale 2WD buggy is aimed at collectors and active hobbyists who enjoy authentic builds.

Original Styling With Practical Tweaks

This re-release keeps the classic ribbed front tyres and paddle-style rear tyres for predictable traction on loose surfaces. Sharing its platform with the Buggy Champ means replacement parts are commonly available, and the inclusion of full ball bearings improves drivetrain smoothness.

Chassis Details and Motor Choice

The kit specifies a Type 540 motor as the standard power unit. The chassis combines a duraluminum plate with a 2mm thick FRP main frame to offer strength without sacrificing some needed flexibility for off-road use. Die-cast suspension components for arms, axles, and hubs add durability where it matters.

Authentic Finishes and Serviceability

The hard plastic shell replicates the original contours, while a clear receiver case protects electronics and can be opened quickly using cam locks. The updated oil dampers and strengthened front uprights boost the model's resilience in everyday running.

The Tamiya Sand Scorcher is well suited for those who value period-correct looks with the option to maintain and upgrade using readily available parts. It balances nostalgia with everyday usability.
