Re: Stadium Blitzer rebuild

Im currently on a Tamiya ORV trip but building them all with Stadium tires as I really dig that look. Suprisingly they drive really well too. But Ive never had a proper one or RC10T to compare it with either. IMHO, anything on that platform isn't much of a match for a Blitzer. And a Blitzer doesn't...

A Few Custom Trucks...

Re: Stadium Blitzer rebuild

Im gonna pull the trigger on a Blitzer Beetle if they come back in stock. Too...

Re: Tamiya wheel mystery

Not certain if the Midnight Pumpkin used the same sized wheels but they had a version with chrome wheels. Unless they are aluminum then in this case they would be aftermarket.

Re: Buy a complete just for parts?

Do you guys buy REissues just for parts? Seems these little bits are hard to come by and sometimes they add up to the point Im considering buying a complete kit just to have it all available. When Tamiya starts shipping retro kits again do parts usually follow? Any particular kit you're looking at?...
