Tamiya Rough Rider
Just ordered myself one of these for my Xmas present. I built a sand scorcher about 28 years ago, but sold it for £20 a long time ago, it was a great
toy.
Can wait to build the thing, it will bring back alot of memories.

Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

Yes I built one of those with help from my Dad when I was about 10 years old. Funnily enough I now have a 10 year old son...hmm!
Where did you get it? Are they generally available or was this a one-off?
Enjoy!
Craig.

It's electric, just the same as they used to be. They have recently been re-released on a limited quantity I believe.

Built a Sand Scorcher - and I still have it !!! but with the FORD pick-up body which I cant recall the name of.
Think I built that one after the Lambo Cheeter or some such model of the same time and few two wheel drive models.
Great fun.

I still have the majority remnants of the Escort Cosworth (based on the Manta Ray chassis) and Bear Foot (I think that was the name of it) in my loft.
I only have one radio set between the two, but have often thought about refurbing one of them back into action.
Obviously I then get carried away about making things on a small lathe and moulding a c/f tub for it etc. etc.
One day...

I have an original gathering dust in Leeds. Shame I have no box with it.
