Transform Your Tamiya Sand Scorcher into a Class 5 Baja Racer
In collaboration with Ampro Engineering, this exclusive Class 5 Baja conversion set lets you reimagine the iconic Tamiya Sand Scorcher as a rugged Baja-style racer. Please note: body, chassis, and wheels are not included and must be purchased separately.
The set features Ampro Engineering’s highly detailed interior kit—now enhanced with all-new race-style seats, a dash cover, and front inner fenders. At the wheel is none other than Matthew Kett from the Scale Builders Guild, adding scale credibility to your build. New race-spec side mirrors replace the originals, elevating the car’s aggressive look.
Out back, you’ll find the latest evolution of the Knight Customs signature flat 4 engine. The Mk3 version introduces refined detailing over the earlier Mk1 and Mk2 releases, making it the most realistic yet.
Up front, we’ve developed a purpose-built Baja nose cone with integrated lights and bars, plus a new skid plate for extra off-road attitude. Both are designed to bolt directly to the stock Sand Scorcher body. To complete the transformation, we’ve also included easy-to-use templates to reshape the factory fenders into a clean, modern Baja profile.

The STL 3D files and G-codes are included in the download. The G-codes can be sent directly to your printer and come with our recommended settings, orientation & supports for printing in PLA filament. These G-codes are a recommended starting point for those new to 3D printing.
G-codes are Included for the Bambu Lab (X1) & Prusa series of printers. The Prusa G-codes should also work on other printers such as the Ender series of printers that have a print bed 20x20cm or larger.
