| description | This may not be new idea and I'd be surprised if someone hadn't tried it yet but when I saw the Duratrax VW buggy come out the first thing I saw was the faux engine and thought it might work with the Sand Scorcher as a low cost way to get a Faux engine, at about $6.29 it is just that and requires only minimal trimming to fit. I will be doing more to this one with some paint and weathering but I just stuck it in my Sand Scorcher to test the fit. Might make some better exhaust pipes and such but all in all a very cheap way to get the engine look. Note: I have the narrow RC4wd rear cage so the exhaust may have to be changed a bit to fit a stock plastic scorcher cage but this is a great starting point for an engine on the cheap.

Thats really a cool engine, have to go for one in my new Scorcher. Looking forward what you will do with the body!
Wow that sure looks great. Really cool to ad ,looks much more like the real thing now

Great idea!
It's like adding the finishing touch to a scorcher, putting a scale flat four on the back. You would almost swear that this is a model only, hard to tell that it's RC to the untrained eye
Thanks for sharing, Seth! Going to get 2or 3 for sure!
Just ordered 10 sets!!
many thanks for sharing!
Good catch! Maybe get 2 and hack them to make a nice dual port dual carb engine. This will be tossed into my next Tower order for sure!
I like that it looks just the job!! Great looking Scorcher too!
these look great and a nice low price. I am sure with a little bit of work a fan housing could be added to enhance it further. I have also ordered a couple
Great idea! Looks very nice and realistic!
Nice! All the motors I've seen attempted so far stick out the back way too far to be realistic, this looks much better...
sure thing guys
Very Nice !!!!
Just ordered 2 from Tower, Thanks for sharing not sure if i'm going to use them as i did want mine box art but hey you never know
Thanks for this great idea!!
Wyo, apparently those single ports from Duratrax make NO POWER!
It has been said.. J-Mans Dual Port is serious kick ass!
Looking forward to seeing your end result Mate..!
oh the other metal REC motor plate actually shorted out my 35t motor and shut down the esc so I just left it off, it might work with a stock motor
Looks great! Just curious - why did you use the Rogue gear cover, but not the motor cover that comes with it? Am about to start a new project with my Rogue bits - was there a problem fitting ?
Looks spot on, good price too
It's a superb idea with a super low budget... Thank you....
Really great tip! I hadnīt even seen the Duratrax VW before. But now i just ordered 3 of these dummy engines, for a couple of ideas to be tested.
What a great find! I had seen the new buggy and engine, and thought Tamiya should do that. I had no idea you could just order the engine part! Great idea, thanks for sharing!
It does finish off the rear, looks better than the gear box casing
