Getting started with the Kyosho 30831T4 Sand Master
If you are new to RC buggies, the Kyosho 30831T4 Sand Master is a forgiving and practical choice. This 1/10 scale electric 2WD buggy blends classic buggy looks with straightforward setup, making it simple to maintain while still giving an engaging driving experience. Built for durability and easy use, the Sand Master suits both first-time drivers and hobbyists who value a solid platform.
Classic looks with a sensible build
The Sand Master takes cues from vintage buggies while using modern assembly techniques. Its snap-on panel body makes access and panel swaps fast, and the model comes in black, white, and purple with additional panels sold separately. Durable diff gears and an adjustable gear ratio add robustness and let you tune the car as you learn.
Drive characteristics tuned for learning
With a 22-turn 540-type motor, the buggy delivers manageable power and predictable control for new drivers. The double wishbone suspension paired with friction shocks soaks up rough surfaces, and bead lock style wheels remove the need for glue when changing tyres by securing the tyre with screws. These choices keep the car approachable on a variety of surfaces.
Simple electronics and quick prep
The included 2.4GHz Syncro KT-200 R/C system removes frequency hassles, and the pre-set ESC means the car is virtually ready to run out of the box. A one-touch battery hatch speeds up battery changes so you spend less time in the pits and more time driving.
Upgrade-friendly chassis
Though ready to run, the Sand Master accepts common upgrades like oil damper kits and alternative motors to improve handling and speed. That flexibility makes the Kyosho 30831T4 a good platform for learning how setup and parts affect performance.
