Lengthening the motor wires, and the 1060 ESC wires took some time, the leads were too short.

Ready for the body and paint.

This is nice - what other wheels will fit? Can you run brushless and a lipo on it? How is this different from the sand scorcher?

I really want one - I have to feed my VW addiction too :mrgreen:

... or, A Tale of Two Beetles.

My very first surface RC was the Tamiya Sand Scorcher, ordered from Tower Hobbies catalog around 1979 or 1980. It was built box stock and finished box art except that I replaced French Blue with Orange. Fitted to the...

Hi, hope everyone's doing well in this crazy year!

I bought a Blitzer Beetle for a bit of fun and to relieve the lockdown boredom, here in Auckland, NZ.

A few interesting issues, no instruction manual, no biggie, but check out the body!
Wasn't...

Hows this thing holding up? Is it a better car than the monster beetle parts-wise?

Both have their quirks. I prefer the Blitzer family but both are capable with a few mods.

The first hobby grade RC I ever saw in my life, was when I was riding the city bus at 12 years old. There was an older kid maybe 14-15, sitting in the back of the bus, with the Tamiya Sand Scorcher box in his lap. All I could see was the side of the...

At the Vonats last fall, my wife got her first taste of driving an r/c car around a track. She got a big kick out of it. I asked if she'd be interested in racing next year and she gave me an enthusiastic yes! So, I bought her a Blitzer Beetle...

Looks awesome! I see you're using the Lexan body too, don't want to trash the plastic one :)

Had no idea they reissued the 1977 6-wheeler.

Spotted this for $190 last night, and this fool and his money have parted ways - once again.

Have a Hobbywing 1060 ordered for it, as it definitely doesn't come with the ESC.

The paint and primer for this project is set to arrive today, finally. Really looking forward to getting this one finished. Need to continue to sand the nose, then primer, then paint.
