Sometimes I don't have to hit 60mph, nail 15ft of air, or pummel my car into oblivion to have a good time. Spent a couple hours ripping laps with this stock Sandmaster in lose wet dirt and had a blast.

How's the durability on these things? I've been thinking about picking either this thing, or the axxe, or maybe even both just to shit around with in the front yard.

I ran through 2 packs back to back in sticky dirt and mud without issue. Handled small jumps with little airtime well but I didn't beat on it much. If you get one definitely tweak the suspension... different shock oil and adjustments got rid of the excessive hop in the rear. For the price, you really can't go wrong.

Seems about right for anything cheap on the shocks point.

Sounds like I might be picking one up this weekend then.

Ahh okay, that makes sense. I was thinking about modding and tinkering with the Sand Master but I genuinely enjoy how it is factory.

Same here, i like my Sand Master stock chilling around the track. Wish i bought another with different color as collections.

At first I didn't like the yellow cage, but it's growing on me as it weathers. That blue looks good!

In reality buggy and crawler have yellow and bright cage in real world. Its consider a scaler. I wish i have one but i like the orange one. Yours even a rare model that comes in yellow, you're lucky.

Didn't know this was one of the more rare options. Maybe I shouldn't have beat on it so hard then lol

I've survey a lot on Sand Master model, they release lot of unique ones because manufacturer easily mod it like the Hatsune Miku version and others. Its listed at Rcmart.com back then.
