;DMate I love the Baja Beetle its quite an old one yes?
I used to have a Tamiya Lamborghini Cheetah jeep type thing, like the forerunner to the modern Hummvees I think they are really rare now though...
Excellent stuff.... ;D.

Is the Baja 500 called the Sand Scorcher or something like that?
I had that when I was a kid.
First one is Grasshopper right?

I've had a 2WD QD Monster Beetle since I was 8. It's pretty indestructible. I love it   My uncle had the 4WD kit version - he painted it gold and wouldn't let me near it. |

The build yourself kit ones were 2wd aswell, same chassis as the Midnight Pumpkin and Vanessa's Lunchbox. I've got a mid 90's BushDevil monster truck with Gravedigger shell on it somewhere. All ball raced with a super wind motor, used to be awesome fun but i've misplaced the HUGE think breeze block sized charger somehow lol. I'm a jealous man Pedalcarjoe, not only are the early models lovely to look at your also sitting on a small fortune there |

Not been keeping up with prices recently but your scorcher looks very nice.
I'd guess it would make £300, maybe more.

Love the cars. I used to have the Holiday Buggy years ago and later on a second hand Sand Scorcher in the blue and white colours. Sadly i slipped on the stairs and broke the chassis on the Scorcher and never bothered to sort it !! DOH ! E-bag is the usual reference place for prices on classic Tamiya stuff but rest assured the Scorcher and Rover are very desirable and will always fetch good money, especially in that condition.

The build yourself kit ones were 2wd aswell, same chassis as the Midnight Pumpkin and Vanessa's Lunchbox. The Monster Beetles that required assembly were based on the same chassis as the Ford F-150 Ranger 'Blackfoot' & the 'Mudblaster' Subaru Brat. They were 1/10th scale, where as Midnight pumpkin & lunchbox were 1/12th. I would love to have a Sand scorcher - my fav all time Tamiya model! |
