👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.
Beautiful kit.
Simple to construct but beautifully engineered. The diffs are lovely and tight and the suspension design is brilliant.
Enjoy!
Mines staying stock, I've decided to shelf-queen it.

PS...a 23 turn motor should be pretty swift........🚀

I think so too and I run those cheap Chinese ESC's that literally take any turn brushed motor fine and run great....surprisingly enough..

I have these cheap chinese esc. They are very small and very efficient. They support 10turn motors same killed motors :D

An awesome kit but the 23 turn Bz will need a fan for the ESC from experience as the, although goes to 23 turns struggles otherwise ... got the fan from eBay for a tenner so a good investment as well as the A5 upgrade
Now completely awesome

Agreed.
In fact, of all the cars I've built (Manta Ray, Baja Buggy, Astute, Top Force, Monster Beetle, TR01, TT02, V L Box), I'd say Id rate the Terra Scorcher the highest. Superb quality, ease, engineering. Such a well designed kit. It feels like what it is, the ultimate polished point of its evolution line of cars.

Just got my Terra Scorcher re re last night and aside form a full set of bearings, it has quite a bit of hardware instead of the normal plastic bits and sway bars to boot. Good idea using the fan but I think the 23T BZ motor calls for a Chinese ESC. Also picked up the steel A5 piece, thanks. Can't wait to start this build.

Finished, pending a decision about radio gear.
Didn't fancy (yet) another blue car and settled on grey to compliment the blue and yellow graphics and shocks.
I think she's a honey.

I went with the blue but used the metallic version a la Avante. These things sure get dirty quick!!!
