Overview

ABS Body Shell

This body shell can be painted using The Tamiya TS series of lacquer paints. Polycarbonate paints such as the Tamiya PS series will not adhere and/or cause damage to the body shell's surface. To view our range of compatible paints, please CLICK HERE.

Please Note:

This kit comes without an ESC, Servo, Battery, Charger, or Transmitter and will come with an unpainted body that may require cutting, painting and drilling.

This is a 1/10 scale R/C assembly kit of the Blitzer Beetle, which was inspired by the exciting off-road desert racer designs seen in the United States. The proven chassis is equipped with 4-wheel double wishbone suspension, CVA shock units, and high-grip off-road tires to offer superb driving performance on rough terrain. The injection-molded body features metal-plated light covers and side mirror parts for greater realism. A driver figure and a sticker sheet depicting the fiery splash-pattern livery are also included.

This tough, lightweight ABS bathtub chassis features a rear-mounted motor and rear-wheel drive layout. The fully-enclosed gearbox protects against dirt and debris and is equipped with differential gears for smooth cornering. 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension is equipped with C.V.A. shock units and extremely durable monocoque-type lower arms. The front spiked tires feature three ribs for enhanced stability, while the rear tires feature both spikes and an X-shaped tread pattern along the center for high levels of grip.
