I only see one decal that is different. The re-re has a yellow Finespec in place of the original yellow Pro Gear.
And I did check the steering rods. The longer one on the re-re is ~5mm shorter than the original. It is borderline too short. Some longer 4.8-5mm ball cups at the servo saver would solve the problem and not be noticeable. The open type included in the kit are kinda sloppy anyway.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.

Doesn't matter if there's thousands of them...
That's a pretty truck.
And the video is still live too... which is awesome because it's surprisingly enjoyable to watch.
Man, you are so right!
I only discovered the SB when juicedcoupe posted his resto project a few years ago and I've been a fan ever since.
Tamiya doesn't always get it right but they certainly got this one right.
Right!

Too bad Tamiya never made racing versions... that would've been epic.
I picked up this Stadium Blitzer on Ebay recently. Due to me not paying close enough attention to the pictures, I didn't notice just how many new parts it would need. So it goes without saying that I definitely overpaid for it....

Nice build…should be a nice truck…you’ve sure put in a lot of work on it
I bought this before the re release and it is the only one that I have running...I have almost talked the owner of the hobby shop/track into doing a vintage race...I know they did the re release and if I understand correctly it is a perfect clone of...

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.
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.
you know, you can cut those mats into little pieces and use them to pad the electronics in your R/C projects! Pro tip! If your girl questions you, just shout PRO TIP
:lol: omg I had to say it outloud I was laughing so hard
It's finally time to get off my duff and do what I've been procrastinating about for far too long. The fun begins. :?
Here we go: three bodies & wings all FasMasked and ready for paint. I decided to spray the FasMask on with a cheap $20 HVLP...

Well Done mate, Liking the mid very much, im sitting on bodies and afraid to crack into them, only used tamiya rattle cans in the past.
Your post is inspiring me to give it a crack.
My Turbo Raid LOVES LIPO. I have a 4,200 and 4,600 mah shorty LIPO battery and they fit perfect (after a little help from my Dremel tool. As the Raider's motor is on the left of the car though, the car was really unbalanced if I put the shorty LIPO...
