I’d say total score and looks great too! ❤

The XBs are great but they only go so far with the detail. And they build with bushings when the kit comes with them. Great find, looks super.

Great video, the sand scorcher is definitely one of the most iconic rc’s I remember from back in the day………probably along with the frog 🐸 Hope your house repairs are going well & you & your family are not finding it to stressful ❤️

Such a nice paint job!

Wow, I've never seen an XB Sand Scorcher, well done to Keith at RC Icons for finding it for you. In some of the close up camera shots the lines between the blue and white on the sides of the body looked a little less than perfect, but pretty damn good anyway. Seriously though, as long as you;re happy with it then that's all that matters. I recently got myself a 2nd hand Clod Buster, and despite it's many flaws, I absolutely love it!!

The Sand Scorcher and the Wild One are two of the coolest RCs Tamiya ever made.

Very nice! Enjoy!

That's interesting that they did this and I wonder how they went about making these as it's very time consuming. From what you are saying they don't quite do a perfect job which is understandable. I did have a go at the classic paint scheme and it was pretty good and now I have one that somebody else painted and it's better than the one I did but not quite perfect. I've got the metal wheels and front bumper to make it more like the box art and I'd recommend them. Great vid, thanks for sharing 👍👍

$550 is cheap man. Congrats on finding this XB. I have been hunting for the Hyundai i30 N XB for years. That might be the 2nd rarest XB behind this one.

Box art is hard and fun, If you use tamiya clear to seal the tape before the new color it helps. You can get a new body kit for $45 so grab one and go for it.

Love my SRBs!! Released year I was born, all metal components, hard ABS body is truly Tamiya magic ! 😂. No seriously cool buggy and congratulations on finding an XB !

I never knew there was an XB version. I have the Re-Re. Only ran it once. The paint scared me too. Lol.

The sand scorcher was based on a real baja bug that ran the 78-79 mint 400. As was the Rough Rider, and the Blazing Blazer. Tamiya execs attended the Mint 77-79 to get ideas from real off road racers.

Huge bargain! The unbuilt kits are more expensive here in Australia, plus the paint job is hard to do.

Wowsers that's awesome 😎 definitely worth the extra money to save all the stress 👍

Great video, actually. Felt like some sort of history lesson.

Looks great , im have to build on my show !! Keep the great videos coming

That IS a nice shirt. Some bare metal foil on those door handles, that trim rib, etc. would make that body "pop" even more. Looks great regardless. Probably one to leave box stock anyhow. Nice find!

that looks so good, now i must build a track in my back yard.

all of the "flaws" can be easily fixed. given the car was sitting in storage for years some bubbling in decals isn't a shock. either pop them with a pin or hit them with some light hair dryer heat and flatten them. or peel them off and replace them. detail paint up the driver figure, that's easy. done. if you can paint the RC10 body you can paint a Sand Scorcher. you have to take your time. you do a little each day. that's how you handle difficult work. silly putty works for masking abc bodies when doing taillights etc. XB built are nice sure, but you gotta remember the factory is banging them out, in high numbers, they're not all going to be perfect.

Nice catch 😊 It's even written "Enjoy it as a display model as well" 😇 I totally understand not wanting to paint that difficult scheme and it's worth the price difference 👍🤝

It’s my favorite buggy of all time.. the pre-painted body looks vey nice.. as for the money spent.. let’s be honest… you are just getting started.. you know that it needs some upgrades.. RC Channel wheels.. suspension.. bumper.. Factory Works carbon chassis.. and of course a ball diff.. rabbit holes.. sooo many rabbit holes 😎

I've had my eye on a sand scorcher for a while now

Factory painted is the bomb

my phone never says bingo 😂

its pretty rare and love the body

I used an oring instead of the front body clip so doesnt scratch the paint taking on and off and the flares could be hand polished out with tamiya polish mate, they did an amazing job all things considered, they must have precut masks made up to get the lines mint, maybe clear for the 1st coat so minimize bleeds on the blue like on a lexan body could work.

I have the fighting buggy. Aka as super champ.

They don't make this XB pro anymore.

Where's pt. 2?

Did you feel bad after you gave Snow White the poison apple?

We race our Touring cars in parking lots. But now we just race against the 'clock' not each other. No crashes, our bodies don't get wrecked...it is still fun to race like that, 'against the clock'. I just bought a new Serpent X20, would like to keep it in good condition...

One of my biggest regrets was not buying the rc10 re-release. Great video, thanks

I was also really impressed how mine ran on it's first run, the transmission is very quiet and smooth (as long as there are no stones in it of course) and the car just feels nicely planted and predictable going round corners. I know it's a rere and so some things have been updated but even so I was pleasantly surprised how good it is for such an old design.

Omg..I have a Rc10T in mint condition with novak duster 😊

That Super Dog Fighter looked awesome, seemed to run and handle really well, and sounds good too. Brilliant stuff!!

One interesting factoid is that the Technituned was the one motor from the 'techni' trio of motors that was NOT included in any of the high-performance 4WD kits (The Supershot got the Technipower, while the Bigwig, 959 and Avante got the Technigold). I wonder why that was.

I have a AA championship edition. Was thinking about selling also have box motors ext.

Nice. I'm digging the auto turntable display feature.

Amazing 👏

Drive it till the wheels fall off! LOL! It looked great out there on the track and I am sure you both had a great time with it!!

As smooth sounding as I remember my original dogfighter back in the late 80's. Love it. Bought the re re but can't afford to buy radio gear and everything to go in it to drive it... The car alone cost $850 over here in Aus and that was more than I shouldda spent lol.

Nice to see it out, it sure is a great buggy, loads of upgrades out there for it now aswell. Ive seen some with few original parts on it, its cheaper to just buy the parts and not the kit 😂

the track could do with a little bit of love , but so nice to see one of these running.. great job

The Super Dog Fighter on his element 😊 Amazing 🤩🤝

The track needs to be groomed.

You've had no racing this year.It's upsetting me.

Is your house almost completely fixed?

I was unsure about this kit, as I am mainly a Tamiya/kyosho fan, but watching how smooth and well it runs I might have to change my mind. Very nice

nice bit of winning rc history.
