i got a trade offer from a friend....trade my cc01 fj for his sand scorcher/ranger deal & a losi buggy..ive done some looking around & this frame dont really look like any of the other scorhers, looks like it has white nylon front end parts?? fiberglass frame...it might be after market parts or some thing i do not know anything about it...heres so pix..sorry there bad. SO SHOULD I TRADE MY ROLLING CC01 FOR THIS & A LOSI BUGGY????????????
any help & info would be good
thanks

Could be some hacked up shit from another buggy, or it could be some nice vintage hop-ups from back in the day. I'd try asking Microgoat, aka Dremelit, aka Stu.
I did just see a Scorcher nylon front end last week on Ebay, guy was saying it was CRP or something, he didn't remember, so it might be something.

Scorcher with era correct aftermarket hop ups. Had one just like it when they were new.

IMO - I wouldn't give $100 for it, but I'm not into the vintage stuff. Your CC01 is probably worth ~$200-300 depending on how you sell it, and to whom.

That is a sand scorcher, it has many vintage crp parts .mip rear shafts as well i think.The body looks like a Blitzer Beetle shell, If you are looking for a quick turn around and make some money its probably worth more than a cc-01 chassis. try ebay for sand scorchers as they make good money and have a huge following.

x2 - Its a Sand Scorcher. I had one I bought new in '84. Sat in a box for 20 years and I sold it 12mo ago for $650.
Mine had the fiberglass pan backboard with the waterproof electronics box attached to it. 2 sets of wheels/tires. A beat up F150 body (original) and the Sand Scorcher body. Orignal alum/brass shocks and a few rebuid parts.

A guy near GR mich sells a lot of old Tamiya parts for these, on Ebay.

hmm i might do the trade & try to sell it or maybe trade it for some thing else, i would keep it if it was all stock...

Gula · 02-23-2009, 06:20 PM

try ebay-ing it and maybe you'll get enough to buy 2 brand new pajeros

Thorsteenster · 02-24-2009, 06:41 AM

I'd trade, it'll be much easier and cheaper to build another FJ that trying to buy the Scorcher, even a stock one. I like the rear arms, I had a Super Champ back in the day, and I must have broken 2 or 3 of the cast rear arms, should make for a nice vintage runner.

kuatto · 02-24-2009, 10:31 AM

Even in the condition its in,would be worth trading.Check on the inside of the body,should tell you if its a scorcher or a blitzer shell and try getting all the little pieces that are missing before you try to sell it,will be worth a lot more if complete.You can download all the manuals on here to help with the rebuild
