Tamiya 58502 Blitzer Beetle RC Kit (Kit Without ESC or Custom Deal Bundle) Radio Controlled R/C Car Model Kit

Coming back is the Blitzer Beetle, which combines a classic VW Beetle body molded in solid plasitc, with the tough chassis from the Stadium Blitzer - which itself features full oil shock layout and rear drive. This is a great FUN car which will cover ground quickly, whilst remaining stable in the rough!

Manufacturer's Specification Follows:
- 1/10 scale R/C assembly kit.
- The durable resin body is molded in black and comes with side mirror parts. The body may be painted with Tamiya's TS spray paints, which are formulated in synthetic lacquer for the best finish and durability
- The tough, lightweight ABS bathtub chassis features a rear-mounted motor, rear-wheel drive layout.
- 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension is equipped with C.V.A. oil filled shock units and extremely durable monocoque-type lower arms.
- The front spiked tyres feature three ribs for enhanced stability while the rear tyres feature both spikes and an X-shaped tread pattern along the centre to ensure high levels of grip.
- Fully-enclosed gearbox protects against dirt and debris.
- Driver figure included.


Options Explained

Bearing Upgrade: These make the car run more smoothly and are easily installed during assembly. If there is no option for these shown, then the kit already includes the bearing upgrade as standard. These are entirely optional.

Radio System: There is a choice of a TWIN STICK (Traditional) radio or a Steering Wheel (Modern) radios. All operate on 2.4Ghz and use the new Crystal-Free technology, so you can run multiple cars at the same time without any interference. All radios chosen from this page will include a steering servo as these are not included in the kit itself.

ESC: This is the connection between the radio system and the motor. You have several choices. The standard Tamiya unit is currently unavailable due to the chip shortage, so Tamiya are offering a choice of a Tamiya Hobbywing or Carson Dragster (Tamiya Germany) units. Where a model number is shown (e.g. 20 or 15) that is the motor capacity of the unit - the lower the number, the more powerful a motor you can install later. All work with the motor in the kit.

Battery: The higher the number, the longer the run time.

Charger: Charge time is proportional to the battery you choose. Some examples - for the 1800 battery (others will take longer) - USB charger takes around 4 hours, Mid Speed around 2 to 3 hours, Etronix Fast Charger can be as quick as 30 minutes in the house and Ansmann Delta also around 30 minutes (and also works in the car).
