Here's a project I've been meaning to make for a long time. A Campbell's Soup Sand Scorcher. I took my Scorcher, the one I race at the VNats and gave it a new shelfer body to wear the rest of the year when it's not being raced. I had an Andy Warhol figure that looked to be about 1/10 scale as well, so I took his head off and mounted it to the Scorcher driver figure. I also added some new Blade 3 piece aluminum wheels in gold. I'm pretty happy with the way this turned out.

While I was at it, I upgraded the steering, it's not got a Super Champ servo saver and tie rods. Unfortunately the ball ends on the steering knuckles are 2.4mm and I can't seem to find any screws or ball ends that fit that size, so I had to use the stock ends there. Oh well, the rest is upgraded and the servo saver won't pop it's spring out like it was doing at last years race.

Holy crap!!! Warhol's in there Awesome

I kept telling him that he needs to wear his helmet, but he's too worried about it messing up his wig.

I had Dali in my car once. He wouldn't keep his head inside the window, looked like a black lab riding down the street, kept saying something about his mustache and butterflies-

That's awesome! Is that body mount a stock piece or did you fabricate it yourself? What I mean is the part that you have screwed down between the shock towers with the body mount on it.

very cool! looks like a good canidate for concours during the vonats!

Sand Scorcher's are mmm, mmm, good...

That's way awesome!
