They are in and out of stock.

I've read that several aftermarket ones have issues on the Blitzers. I have the above ones on my other truck and haven't had any problems.

Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply! I wouldn't have known this was a possibility unless I read your build thread. You've definitely inspired me to do more to my Stadium Blitzer runner. Great work!

This is the Tamiya CVD at full droop on a Blitzer.

I've read that some other brands of DF-02 shafts are a little shorter and pop out.

I'm bored today and somehow got on the Stadium Blitzer. I think it is one of the best looking trucks and one of the best kits from Tamiya. Strong, reliable, cheap, easy to assemble and decent performance. I will never forget as a kid walking into...

Well, I bought another Stadium Blitzer (third one) that will be run as a fun truck. It will actually be the first Tamiya that I have ever actively run.

I want to keep this fun and not get too serious. My goal is a fun park truck that will run...

Looks like fun. For bashing around I have to say I love the idea of non adjustable tie rods. Easier and less to break. Stadium Blitzer has a nice period look to it compared to modern bashers.

eBay has good selection of these vintage parts for the Stadium Blitzer/thunder, Blitzer Beetle. Own original Blitzer myself bought back in 1993 and still in great running shape thanks to EBay.

This is my Pro-XRT project I started last May of 2021. It was in a little rough shape and missing a few parts when I got it. I disassembled the truck shortly after getting it, then placed in a tote until a couple weeks ago. Plans are to replace...

Last post

I've thought about trying that. It would be interesting to see your vacuum table setup etc if this works out.

Hi, hope everyone's doing well in this crazy year!

I bought a Blitzer Beetle for a bit of fun and to relieve the lockdown boredom, here in Auckland, NZ.

A few interesting issues, no instruction manual, no biggie, but check out the body!
Wasn't...

Last post

Hows this thing holding up? Is it a better car than the monster beetle parts-wise?

Both have their quirks. I prefer the Blitzer family but both are capable with a few mods.

This is nice - what other wheels will fit? Can you run brushless and a lipo on it? How is this different from the sand scorcher?

I really want one - I have to feed my VW addiction too :mrgreen:
