So, the other day I made a comment to Jeremy of Haydad RC, and it came up that he's never seen my Sand Viper (Jennifer, my wife, did start a build video but lost interest in it)... In the video it's box stock, only 2 things added (other than a radio system) is a battery & a servo.....

This is what I used....

Tamiya Sand Viper kit #58374

Hitec HS-422 Deluxe servo: Speed: @4.8V .21sec/60' / @6.0V .16sec/60'
Torque: @4.8V 45.82oz/in / @6.0V 56.93oz/in
Durable and Dependable Construction
Durable Resin Gear Train
Oilite Bushing Supported Output Shaft
High Performance Circuitry...

This servo is more than enough for the light front end and how often it gets used.

A 2S lipo was used....
GARTPOT
7.4V 4000mAh 50C 2S RC LiPo Battery Hardcase with Deans Plug (2 Packs)
$39.99 ($20.00/Count)

As you can see, I did not go box art but did use a few stock stickers... Any color other than yellow looks better on this body!!!! IMO only!!!!!!

I used Duratrax Paint....

Polycarb Spray, Metallic Burgundy, 4.5 oz
Item No.DTXR4267

Polycarb Spray, Pearl White, 4.5 oz
Item No.DTXR4276

Polycarb Spray Bright White 4.5 oz DTXR4251
Current price$8.99

As of now, it has a Tamiya Sport Tuned motor in it... However, I have not had it out in over a year....

@HaydadRC
Go check out his channel if you never have (or have, do it again)... Give him a sub and watch some videos (like them also)... Something for everyone there, Flying, driving, boating & crawling plus other content.....

Again, old crappy video of not seeing much... Sorry... However, you can see the buggy doing some jumps...

Thanks for Watching!!!!!
