HobbyKing RTR Sand Storm 1/12 2WD Desert Buggy

If you’re in the market for a beginner-friendly indoor / outdoor econo buggy, HobbyKing’s Sand Storm deserves a look. It’s a kid-friendly size at 1/12 scale, and the bottom-load battery (not included) makes for easy pack changes. It’s not strictly for kids though; fully adjustable suspension, oil-filled shocks, and brushless power give the Sand Storm full hobby-class cred.
