Bonus parts?

The oil shocks? thats the bonus? -ok thanks lol.  Or maybe the TEU-104BK esc that needs ubec so it will not fry the rx.Not that I would use it and nice to get one, I never had that unit.-and it has lipo cut off but 80´s style external battery pack or ubec needed... typical Tamiya innovations that I love and hate.

Sadly the body has some molding/other faults. contacted Tamico and waiting their response.. I have something special planned with this build and cant use this body cause the faults.

 

both doors have over a centimeter size faults and they are really visible in person.

Tamico once again proofed that they have great customer service.

 

I complained about the body and they shipped a new body yesterday to me.

 

when I receive it I can finally add some paint...

 

(I still have no time to build the chassis)

Still no time to build, but i did throw some paint and decals (from MCI) at the body Tamico replaced.

 

 

I dont drink, but the classis racing livery is one of my favs.

windows are clear under the stickers , not sure to leave like this or clear yet

The bonus parts mean full ball bearings usually.  My stadium thunder has the same sticker, and it was ball bearings lol

still needs wiring but this build was only 2 hours plus bodywork.

 

will try and find more scale wheels

They are a simple, quick build, even with tapping all the threads on mine (Sand Viper), and installing several hop ups, took about 4hrs actually building. One of my favourite chassis to work on and run.

I love the stadium truck design from Tamiya.  The factory decals / livery sucks.  Here is my interpretation for my kids cars. Painted grill black which makes a difference. Windows unpainted but may tint in the future

great little truck especially when not box art. @Frankster love the Redbull scheme. I’ve got an old Blitzer that I did in a similar style45CEF04F-CF26-432E-BCB9-6B45B7E100DF.jpeg.31858099c87fbeb2f2915e6ef6fc01a6.jpeg

that yellow part of the sticker over the front wheel arch is fun!!!!

Great blitzer. Wheels and tire are bunch better. I wonder how it would look with the Nissan king cab livery / decals 🤔

Frankly I think it looks good in all sorts of colours. Especially ones that are usually Nissan.
