Blitzer Beetle finished!

[Bromley 681]

My wife bought this for my birthday! It's basically stock apart from the non box art paint, bearings and white wheels. I think it will get some extremely light running. I've been wanting to do one of these for a good while now.

Nice looker , Great runners :)

I gave the chassis a little run up and down the road before I finished the body fully. It's quite slow on Nimh with the silver can, but it's going to sit pretty on the shelf for a bit. I have a 17t brushed motor for it and running on 2S should make it go fairly well.

I can't wait to give it a run on the beach, in it's natural environment!

Nice looking Beetle!  Blitzer Beetles are such a fun runner, enjoy it on the beach!

I'd like to keep this one looking pretty for a bit longer!

I've got my TT-02T basher for that sort of thing. I have a 1060 esc going spare and soft 3s 2200 packs I use for flying. I'll give it a go one day. I'm not sure how the TT-02 plastic diffs will feel about it though!

The Blitzer chassis is a speed demon. Mine used to pull wheelies at 40 mph. Lol   

until it disintegrated. Lol

i almost forgot about that bit. Lol
