isomer1 175 Posted March 23, 2020 Every time I see a bear hawk photo I just get bummed out. I think they're gorgeous, and I like the falcon chassis underneath. But aside from the occasional $400+ kit from Japan I haven't been able to find one. Are there other buggy bodies that come close to that shape that would fit? The blitzer is cool, I just want something closer to the bear hawk design. Any suggestions are appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hobgoblin 1059 Posted March 23, 2020 You can fit a falcon body, as you would expect but it needs a fair amount of trimming. eBay and patience, I have picked up two bearhawks last year, one for 60 with a box & transmitter and a real junker for 40. The average price seems to be sub 150 for restored ones. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Falcon is same family but a lot was changed. Bearhawks pop up every now and then for reasonable prices, as mentioned patience is your friend. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I found some very old threads mentioning it would work but that's for the original. I have the rere and it was after those threads were started. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hobgoblin 1059 Posted March 24, 2020 The bearhawk was never re-released. The blitzers (beetle, stadium & stadium thunder) have been and are identical, so if it worked on the originals it will work now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
