Tamiya Sand Scorcher / Rough Rider / SRB Promotional video

[@WalterWabbit]

Great video. I remember watching this in the model shop which led to me getting a Rough Rider when I was 13. I still have it. I should dig it out and get it running.

For anyone wondering what the music is, it's We're All Alone by Bob James

+Declan Gooch Thank you!

[@mitchisms]

Great footage, but the reason I keep coming back to watch this video is for the music. Brilliant.

I had a sand scorcher and if I remember the radio gear and the speed controller where housed in a clear polycarb tub that was fully water proofed with a rubber o ring on the lid and Dzus type fastners,remember building one at 5 in the morning one christmas day,think it was late 70's or early 80's,built like bloody tanks and with proper oil filled shocks that you built yourself,oil and everythink,would put most of the modern stuff to shame coz most of the suspension and running gear was aluminium

Yep, the Rough Rider re-release has been confirmed by and advertised by Tamiya. Due out in July. Should be 20,000 Yen (200 USD / 135 GBP) from Hong Kong resellers. I'm loving the idea of a Sand Scorcher re-release. Cheers, Alistair G. (Live_Steam_Mad)
