DrewZ 188 Posted January 29, 2018 Hi Everyone, this is my first post in 10 years! I'm getting my 2 boys into the RC hobby and starting them off with a couple of Stadium Blitzers that my brother and I used to race. We are putting a Beetle body on one of them so I thought I would share the progress. How do you like it? Cheers! AZ 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfdogstinkus 1893 Posted January 29, 2018 Your bodypost holder looks a bit like a handle?. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrewZ 188 Posted January 29, 2018 @wolfdogstinkus That's funny, I actually formed that from a flat piece of metal in a vise with a hammer... But now that you say that, it would've been much easier to just use a handle! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kwkenuf 184 Posted January 29, 2018 Super! I have been digging the Beetle body lately, trying to figure out what I could put one on... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrewZ 188 Posted January 29, 2018 I think I would prefer the Baja Champ look, more realistic, but this Blitzer Beetle look is growing on me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil5556 136 Posted January 29, 2018 I'll swap you? Never really liked the BC, looks better in its Baja Beetle guise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paullyjay 182 Posted January 30, 2018 That looks great! I've just picked up my first Blitzer and I am loving it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrewZ 188 Posted February 8, 2018 Blitzer update: my son has applied stickers to the new body and taken some life off the back the tires :-) 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrewZ 188 Posted March 2, 2018 Allright, now that Blitzer #1 is back up and running as a Beetle I've got the second one in the shop for body work. This was my little brother's truck back in the day which he recently gave to my youngest son, who is the youngest of two brothers. How cool is that! Anway, this little guy likes green trucks so he's getting a Pro-Line '66 F100 (p/n 3412-00) in Tamiya PS-17 Metallic Green with white side panels. We're thinking about leaving those back body posts untrimmed because they look like exhaust pipes :-) 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chazekxt 7 Posted March 8, 2018 looks great is that a proline bug body? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It includes an optional wing that you can tape, glue or screw on there. I think it looks better without it. Here's a link: https://parmapse.shptron.com/p/1-10-bug-w-wing-clear-body Cheers!
