Tamiya Blitzer Beetle 2011 Unboxing

[@shaunfisher6268]

Great unboxing video looks like a fun kit. Looking forward to seeing the end result 👍

[@ericwood2790]

Blitzer Beetle should be a great build, been looking at them for a while but they’ve become somewhat hard to find . Look forward to the build video.

[@RCHobbyShed]

I think so too! I agree, not a lot of them out there now, I got lucky finding this one. I should have the video out in the next few days. 👍

Chuffed about the upcoming build

[@RCHobbyShed]

Thanks! Should be a great build. 🙂👍

[@MarkBryanRC]

It's a great kit mate! Very thorough unboxing, nice one. I love my Blitzer, didn't go box art but did put a 12T brushless in it - heaps of fun, wheelies all day long and a strong basher chassis, I haven't had a breakage in 3 years of abuse. The body is a different story though, mate! Very fragile, and when it breaks, it splinters and is hard to repair. So I ended up getting a lexan repro basher body. Anyways - have fun my friend! :))

[@RCHobbyShed]

Thanks Mark. I've seen some of your videos on your Blitzer, it does go great! Good to know they're strong. I'll bash it but not too destructively, if that makes sense. I also checked out your anti bump steer mod, think I will do the same during the build, will give you a shoutout for the info. Yeah, the body is the biggest worry, maybe I will look in a lexan body too. Cheers Mark! 🙂👍

@@RCHobbyShed Thanks Mike, that's great! With the steering mod, check the steering ball ends don't foul on the lower wishbone ends on full compression - mine was OK (just scuffing lightly and no issues caused) but others have complained about it. I did remove the last mm or two from the end of the pivot screws as they stuck out of the wishbone a little. Anyway, the mod does make a difference when you drive the bug! All the best my friend! :-)

[@RCHobbyShed]

@@MarkBryanRC No worries Mark, thanks for the info. Will check when I do it. Cheers mate! 👍

[@outbackrcaustralia4895]

Brushless!! ... Now your talking!!! That's a top idea, really looking forward to seeing more on this one 👍🦘🇦🇺

[@RCHobbyShed]

Yeah it should be fun! How much fun I don't know as I haven't decided on 2s or 3s as yet. I guess I'll try one then the other! 🤣

[@outbackrcaustralia4895]

@@RCHobbyShed Haha 3s would be crazy! I feel sorry for the poor plastic diff gears! 😂 I think you'll definitely be pulling wheelies!

[@UNBOXINGRADIOCONTROL]

Nice unboxing mate👍👍

[@RCHobbyShed]

Thanks mate! 🙂👍

[@petergoodwin2465]

That looks like a fun car mate , wife has ordered a monster beetle. They say the gearbox is a bit weak. As usual she wants it brushless, now I want this one looks like fun . Need to get one of these to. Can't wait for the build, this beast looks cool. Thanks for the unboxing.

[@RCHobbyShed]

Thanks mate! The Monster Beetles are cool too. I have one here I still haven't gotten around to building. Since she's going brushless a MIP Super Ball diff will be money well spent. I have one ready to go in mine and will upgrade my vintage Frogs with them too, when I can afford it lol. I'll leave the link for the MIP diff, they can be found on eBay too! www.miponline.com/MIP-Super-Ball-Diff-Tamiya-Blackfoot-Monster-Beetle-16210

[@petergoodwin2465]

@@RCHobbyShed thanks again mate, will get the wife to order the MIP diff. After watching you build diffs I've done a few , rebuilt the Arrma notorious diff to but now the center diff is going. She's killed that thing ,drives it like a nut. The first day she drove the kyosho phsyco kruiser she jumped it and landed upside down on the rear shock tower. Bent it badly, it's flat out or nothing with her. The kyosho is a rocket, faster than the Arrmas. The losi 8ight may be a little faster but she thinks the kyosho is faster. Need a radar gun or GPS, my Tamiya F100 beats the kyosho Camaro but it's brushless. Thanks for the help mate, at least the wife can't break her Chevrolet. It's too big for her so she's scared to give it a hard time ha, ha .

Thanks! You have a great day too. 👍

[@markgreenhalgh8344]

Come on... The first thing you do with a new kit is smell the tyres 😂

[@RCHobbyShed]

Damn, I forgot and now that new tyre smell that was sealed in the bag is gone forever! 😢🤣

[@G3516dude]

Very nice unboxing! Just out of curiosity... where did you pick this little beauty up? I’d love to get one if they are still available 😊

[@RCHobbyShed]

Thanks! It came from a seller on eBay named Greatsurfbay. They are getting hard to find, good luck in your search! 👍

[@martinneps9387]

Can you or do you know what other RC truck has the same front and as a king Blackfoot what front end is compatible with the king black Foot please comment back if you know thank you

[@RCHobbyShed]

Trucks with the ORV type chassis will have a compatible front end.Trucks such as Monster Beetle and Blackfoot. There are some older ones too, such as Bush Devil and Mud Blaster. Hope this helps. 👍
