This is a re-release version of the 1/10 scale Blitzer Beetle R/C assembly kit, which was inspired by the exciting off-road desert racer designs seen in the United States in the 1960's. The proven chassis is equipped with 4-wheel double wishbone suspension, CVA shock units, and high-grip off-road tires to offer superb driving performance on rough terrain.
The injection molded body features metal plated light covers and side mirror parts for super scale realism. In addition, a driver figure as well as a decal sheet are included to depict the fiery splash-pattern livery that was popular in the 1970's.
This tough, lightweight ABS bathtub chassis features a rear mounted motor, rear-wheel drive layout. The Fully enclosed gearbox protects against dirt and debris, and is equipped with differential gears to offer super smooth cornering.
4 wheel independent double wishbone suspension is equipped with C.V.A. shocks and extremely durable monocoque type lower arms. The front spiked tires feature a 3 rib design for enhanced stability while the rear tires feature both spikes and an X-shaped tread patterns along the center to ensure high levels of grip.
