    Great work, gentlemen! The lack of "outtakes" certainly suggests that it will gracefully carry on.... brilliant fun indeed. Cheers Mates!

      Sometimes I wonder if we did something right or wrong when we don’t have outtakes 🤔😂👍

    It's always a crowd favorite!! I have a soft spot for the Stadium Blitzer.

      It does run well and it is a favourite here👍

    The revamped Blitzer Beetle looks great! I love the color and the martini livery is really cool! I looked like it was having a great time running around as well!!! I am sure the Chief Engineer was!

    Nice twist on the Martini livery! The run footage came together properly as well!

      Just from a local garden centre, used some of it on the Sand Scorcher also 👍

    Great re paint, if you don’t mind me making a little observation re the shocks though, could probably do with some internal fuel tube limiters as it’s jacked up massively, risking dog bone binding etc, it’s your car though! Keep up the great work.

      I will definitely pass that on to the Chief Engineer, I know it does have lots of front end landings when hitting jumps, I’ll see what he says 👍

      That’s the beauty with these hard bodies, so much easier to give a fresh new look too 👍

    Funny how eliminating cfc’s didn’t shrink the hole in the ozone…🧐
    And just like melting ice doesn’t make the water rise…a hotter fire heats up those sitting around it 😲🤯😎

    I wonder which body Tamiya has used on the most different chassis.

    • @RCsoandso
      @RCsoandso  Місяць тому

      That’s a good question, I would say the Beetle has to have a fair chance at that prize 🤔👍

  • @camdflage
    @camdflage Місяць тому

    Great video. Cheers. Did you find the blitzer would pull to one side when accelerating - almost as though the torque was drawing it over? Steering is perfectly aligned. Just tends to rip to one side when the hammers down.

    • @RCsoandso
      @RCsoandso  Місяць тому

      In fairness this one is quite Bob on, I do have cars like that, and I feel I am forever messing around with the tracking on the controller even though the steering is straight 🤷‍♂️🙄👍
