What is this?

Does anyone know what is this?


Seller made that pic, but now bushings are replaced and its almost clean.
I bough it very cheap and is it worth of restoration?

Is it vintage anyway?

Tamiya stadium blitzer or bettle blitzer not really vintage.

Thanks, but can you tell manufacturing year of it ?
Im worried about the gears. I think i cant find them here in Estonia

That will be Tamiya, matey.... let me check the TamiyaClub website for the year. If not available in Estonia, I'm sure someone here or on TamiyaClub.com will be able to source you some...

I really need to read what others write sometimes....

The chassis is chared with the Stadium Blitzer, Blitzer Beetle, and Stadium Thunder (although some plastic on the latter is red)... Bear Hawk buggy shares the chassis as well, but has red shocks and no tall body mounts.

These are relatively recently out of production, and are a relatively entry-level vehicle... so there should be plenty of parts available.

Stadium Blitzer and Blitzer Beetle have online manuals listed on TamiyaClub, so that would be a good place to start!

Hope that post was more helpful....

Now it`s quite good. I have to paint on the body not in, because its impossible to get the paint off.

But i found one new model. Kyosho TRACKER. Its in mint condition, but it doesn`t have box.
I got it from second hand shop for 100kroons/10 dollars and it had manual and transmitter.
Is it some kind of rarity? Manufacturing year is ~1993?

I think the tracker is like a big-wheel version of the kyosho Ultima. Relatively easy to find parts for.
Isn't that a gas car actually, sorry no time to look it up now

Its electric. And its different from kyosho ultima.
Only problem is that the tires have cracks on their sides.

[Mr. ED]

your're right it is electric nad I'm right alos: it is based on the ultima:

You can see the outside of the gearbox and the rear arms and uprights: all original ultima prts. Beside that: a cheap plastic chassis and shock mounts, cheap shocks, cheap.... wel you get the picture.

The one picture is a '2', the only difference as far as I know: the tracker has a yellow body and other decals.

Any standard truck tires will fit and will be an improvement over the standard tractor tread.

can look good if well done like this one: http://koti.mbnet.fi/~oju/rc/Tracker2eng.html
