TS50 & TS51 are both metallics, X4 was a solid colour, so TS15 should be the closest match.
Thanks mate. However in Tamiya's official TS color chart, every metallic color is indicated by the word "Metallic". These two aren't (as opposed to other tones of blue such as TS-19 and TS-53). I've added this chart below. Cheers

I apologize if this has been asked before, I couldn't find the answer. The Bruiser manual indicates the body color is Tamiya blue X-4. I would like to use a TS spray can instead, but I see there are several tones of blue. Which is the closest to X-4?
Here are the relevant TS blue colors:
TS-15 Blue
TS-50 Mica Blue
TS-51 Racing Blue
Thanks

Hi,
I have a Blitzer beetle with a stock 540 motor, which I would like to replace with something more powerful. The manual recommends the Sports-tuned Mabuchi motor. However, I am greedy and would like more power. On the other hand, I understand that over-powering the car may destroy the gears and damage the the TEU-101BK speed controller.
What is the strongest motor that I can use with this setup?
Also, what does "T" or "Turn" mean when describing a motor? For example 23T motor, etc. I understand that the smaller this figure, the more powerful the engine? Is there anywhere in this site (or the Web) that compares electric car engines and motor-esc setups?
Thank you in advance,
Beetleman

Thank you people for your answers. I would like to ask another question if I may.
How are radio sets (for cars and boats, not planes) rated? Is 75 better than 27? I got a 75 thinking it was the best but experience control jitter/loss at 15 meters (45 feet)!
Thanks again,
Beetleman

Hi,
My question is basic - would a 75 AM receiver work with a 75 AM transmitter of a different make? In other words, would radio components of the same HZ and band work if they are of different makes (companies)?
Thanks

Does anyone know what are the box art colors (TS-?) of the red and yellow paint scheme? Thanks!
