Default Took the Sand Scorcher to the Beach

This is my first Sand Scorcher rebuild that was going to be a shelf queen for years to cherish, but I couldn't help myself. This car seems alot faster than I remember my old Tamiya cars. It handled the sand pretty well, but was a real mess afterwords, sand was everywhere even in the radio box where it shouldn't have been. It was really a blast so I might have to take it out again and maybe put a hotter motor in it.

I think I would if I didnt already have a grand into this one. I was praying the gears would hold up because finding new ones might be impossible or a fortune. I'll probably do that with something that can handle the speed like a slash.
