Description

The Tamiya Blitzer Beetle RC Buggy is a 1/10 scale off-road machine inspired by the exciting designs of desert racers. This kit features a durable and versatile chassis, equipped with 4-wheel double wishbone suspension, CVA shock units, and high-grip off-road tyres, delivering superb driving performance on rough terrain. The injection-moulded body includes metal-plated light covers and side mirror parts for added realism, while the included driver figure and sticker sheet allow you to recreate the fiery splash-pattern livery.   

The Blitzer Beetle's chassis is built for toughness and agility. The lightweight ABS bathtub frame features a rear-mounted motor and rear-wheel-drive layout for optimal traction and handling. The fully enclosed gearbox protects against dirt and debris, while the differential gears ensure smooth cornering. The 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension, with C.V.A. shock units and durable monocoque-type lower arms, provides exceptional stability and control. The front spiked tyres feature three ribs for enhanced stability, while the rear tyres combine spikes and an X-shaped tread pattern for maximum grip. Whether you're tackling off-road trails or racing around the track, the Tamiya Blitzer Beetle RC Buggy is ready for adventure.
