TAMIYA RC 1/10 BLITZER BEETLE 2011

Tamiya RC 1/10 Blitzer Beetle (2011) Off-Road Buggy Kit

The Tamiya RC 1/10 Blitzer Beetle is a re-release assembly kit inspired by the exciting off-road desert racer designs seen in the United States. The proven chassis is equipped with 4-wheel double wishbone suspension, CVA shock units, and high-grip off-road tyres to offer superb driving performance on rough terrain.

Please note this is an unassembled kit requiring assembly; it ships as a build-it-yourself kit and does not arrive pre-built or ready to run.

The injection-moulded body features metal-plated light covers and side mirror parts for greater realism, and a driver figure as well as a sticker sheet depicting a fiery splash-pattern livery are also included. Underneath, this tough, lightweight ABS bathtub chassis features a rear-mounted motor, rear-wheel-drive layout, with a fully-enclosed gearbox that protects against dirt and debris and is equipped with differential gears to offer smooth cornering. 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension is equipped with CVA shock units and extremely durable monocoque-type lower arms, while the front spiked tyres feature three ribs for enhanced stability and the rear tyres combine spikes with an X-shaped tread pattern along the centre to ensure high levels of grip.
