    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!

      Well it gave him a break from family, no joke being huddled together under canvas for a few days 🤣😂👍

    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👍

    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 🤔😂👍

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

      He did a good job capturing it all without me stomping around like Kubrick in the background 🤣😂👍

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

    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 😲🤯😎
    Great video 😏

      It’s almost like a way to get you to replace all your working fridges with modern breakable ones. 🤔😂👍

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

    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.

    • @RCsoandso
      @RCsoandso  Před měsícem +1

      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 👍

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

    • @RCsoandso
      @RCsoandso  Před měsícem

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

    Looks great guys! And a nice relaxing drive in the countryside. What are the plans for the old Kermit Green shell?

      Well that’s the same shell, just given a lick of paint and now it’s ready for the next few thousand miles 🤣😂👍

      @@RCsoandso Ooohhhhh, great job painting then. For some reason I thought those were 2 different bodys! I really need a Blitzer. I want a Stadium Blitzer...so hard to find one now.

    • @RCsoandso
      @RCsoandso  Před měsícem +1

      Yes some models are like hens teeth, makes you think though there is a model shop somewhere stocked full of all these hard to find models. It’s just finding it 🤣😂👍

  • @camdflage
    @camdflage Před měsícem

    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  Před měsícem

      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 🤷‍♂️🙄👍

      If it was still green they may have thought it was mint sauce 👍
