Scorch the Earth
This is an updated re-release version of the Terra Scorcher, the original of which was first released in 1988. The chassis consists of a lightweight and tough bathtub frame plus 4-wheel double wishbone with CVA oil dampers for a superior ride, and threaded shaft upper arms to allow easy camber adjustment. Stabilizers come as standard front and rear, and you can use adjusters in the three-piece tie-rod setup to alter toe. Body and wing are molded in clear polycarbonate, with stickers included to apply the logos, and grippy spike tires round off the look.
Sturdy, Efficient Shaft-Driven 4WD
The Terra Scorcher chassis is a tuned version of that seen on Tamiya’s Thunder Shot. It is based around a lightweight yet highly rigid bathtub frame, with differential gears front and rear and an extremely solid setup. 4-wheel double wishbone suspension is fitted with CVA oil dampers front and rear, and stabilizers further tune the ride, while threaded shaft upper arms allow swift alteration of your car’s camber. Full ball bearings in the drive train ensure superb efficiency, enhanced by a dedicated aluminum motor mount for this re-issue. Universal shafts eliminate any worries about shafts coming out in big impacts.
