I bet you're talking about a Tamiya Sand Scorcher. Very detailed R/C car from the early 80's.
Don't recall a thread about it though. Search turns up nothing.
Let me know if you find it.

been out of RC for years and said I'd never own another one, looks like I was wrong again

I had one years ago, it got stolen! I'm still PISSED! It was a cool R/C, nothing like todays R/Cs but it was still fun. The front beam was almost identical to a L/P beam. I've heard they are going to re-release it. If the do I'll add one to my collection.

As cool as they are, they are a bit pricey for what you get compared to the newer stuff though.

I looked around for the sand schorcher a few years ago, before it was available in its remake version. Prices for the OG one were around $1000.
so i stopped looking... I remember building that thing on the kitchen table as a kid...memories
