Beautiful, competent cars, superb location (lovely powdery sand, no buildings to disrupt scale), well-thought-out videography and good editing; great video! This should be a lesson to us all. Has anyone else noticed that Tamiya owners produce some of the most imaginative rc car vids on You Tube? 5 stars from me!

I'm loving this video. 240p and choppy slow mo shots... But I'm loving it! In a weird way it actually adds to it. Only thing that could have made it better would be to run the cars without antennas to make them look even more real.

The BOSS is my wife. I jokingly meant that she will let me buy another toy. And that your cool video helped her understand how much fun the Sand Scorcher is. Thanks, you put together a really fun video.

dammit...watched this and went and bought ANOTHER ONE!...oh well never such thing as "too many" SS's Best RC pedigree ever. Have had them since I was a kid in the late 70's and they are nothing but a 10 on the fun meter. Not the fastest, not the most maneuverable, not the most scale, not the most affordable...BUT they are most certainly the most pure joy in a big boy toy you can pack into a day. Good job guys with the video, you're doing a good service to our friends at Tamiya. Spread the joy!

Really fun watching all the sand fly. After watching part of your video, THE BOSS understands the fun, and gave me clearance to add number 12( I think) to my stable of cars. Great work thank you much.

i'm another one that bought a SS after i saw this video! i live near the beach in australia so it is perfect for me. anyone that wants one, or something similar, the rough rider has just been rereleased! this has same chassis as the sand scorcher, and a buggy shell (rere is called the "buggy champ") sand scorcher rerelease could be coming too....

In a lot of the shots they look like real cars. Only when you see sticks or grass can you see their actual size.

Yes they are all Sand Scorchers but they have been modified in a few places to make them stronger and ride the dunes better.

I have had a lot of people asking what the music is on this video, particularly the track that starts around 3m20s. The answer is External Key by the Audioholics. This particular version is the Gabriel and Dresden mix. Enjoy...

I'd love to but it wasn't shot in HD. It was recorded on Mini DV at 720x576/25i - Old school...! HD cameras cost a fortune when this was recorded and were priced for professional or semi professional users.

Its nice to finally see a movie with some nice music instead of the other crap you keep hearing :) Love the video, would love to go ride through the sand with my rc car but they say that its really bad with a nitro car, any tips if there are some ways to protect the car to go drive through the sand? Grtz

@katana2665 15 жыл бұрын

Outstanding vid...I'm also in the process of restoring my SS. What motor are you using? Did you convert to B/L? and if so how did you deal with the gears in the gearbox? Or did you modify to get a 540 to fit...? Great stuff.

Simply the best Scorcher vid on the net, imo! How much damage do the chassis sustain on average for a day on the beach like that. Just restoring my SS for the shelf, but I will have to get a runner too, I think.
