Anyone have any input on these cars? They seem pretty cool and have a Hayabusa engine in them. I stumbled across a two seat version that is really clean. I have no idea how much they are worth or much about them. Saw some vids on YouTube that seem legit but they are an old car now. Just curious because I've never seen one.

I believe. They changed the name to Sinister sand toys out of Oklahoma.
No idea if still in business. They were doing Hayabusa smartcar conversations also

They are ok. Constant on the pipe. Lots of shifting. Handle pretty good

Lots of maintenance

Yeah, I was just curious about it. Not sure it is something I would invest in but it is pretty cool

Sinister is/was a completely different company then Short Sand Cars.

I bought a Tom Pro car last year with a 1400 kawi similar power to hayabusa. Im pretty stoked on it. You do have to actually drive it but i think thats part of the fun. It will make it up anything as long as you keep it in the power band. Got it for way less than a SxS and in the sand it walks away from them easily.

We saw a guy at Coral Pink years ago with a Tom car, turbo Hyabusa setup.
Car was quick! Looked to handle really well.
Impressed the shit out of us up till the point it puked up all its coolant, lol.
Overall the car was badass, and looked well built.
Other than the cooling system, lol.

This is the car, the guy is asking $8K for it but like I said I have no idea what they go for. The rear tires are the trailer/driving around tires. It comes with paddles and mud tires on rims too.

Not crazy about the color 🤔

Not much for suspension on that car and no reverse box. If you want it I would try and get it for less. I got my Tom pro for 13.
