From the Parkflyers RC workbench

Marc's Take

What sold me was the control.

The Pro Scale Sand Car was one of the most exciting Traxxas releases I had looked at in a long time. The scale detail draws you in; the balance and braking are what kept my attention.

Balanced in the air. I liked the way the car carried itself over jumps and the controlled feel when it lifted into a wheelie.
The front brakes add character. The braking response and the ability to help rotate the car made this feel different from an ordinary basher.
A strong starting point. In my first look, I was happy with how much fun the standard platform already offered. Lighting was an appealing finishing touch.

A scale option from the Sand Car discussion: FUNCO Pro Scale LED light set for the lighting upgrade.

My take: a distinctive large-scale driving experience for someone who enjoys the combination of scale looks, balance and rear-wheel-drive character.
