OK lads....here we have the Blitzer Beetle!! :)
I have had this kit sitting waiting to be built for nearly a year now and I weakened....I decided to build it! And boy oh boy am I glad I did! :)
This has been the most enjoyable model car build of my life...so far that is! I am so looking forward to building my Sand Scorcher!!! :)
Well done to Tamiya for this fabulous Beetle body.....the nose slid into place like a dream....the body accessories add that little special something here and there....plus the VW badge makes me smile every time I look at it! The VW Beetle is a legend.....and this model is a great fun version of that car.....
Fully ball raced throughout....I am going to keep the small pinion size and up the motor to brushless....maybe 3800kv or similar.....not too mad...but quicker than brushed!
I love this model car.....and I hope you do too ;)

Looks really good, I have the same kit, tho I off loaded the body parts to someone else as I'm not keen on the beetle bodies. Have a sensorless 3300kv brushless motor in mine, and even with all the settings dialed right back it pulls wheelies on the grass, and spins out on anything else unless really really gentle on the throttle.

Thanks Darat76. My Aqroshot sounds similar....spins like crazy unless you are very careful on the throttle trigger!

Do love a tamiya's beetle! I bought and built a blitzer beetle few years ago and it looked brilliant like yours first run out I did a runaway and hit the corner of my patio doors full speed totally destroyed the body and cracked the chassis! 😢😕
