    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 🤔😂👍

    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 🤣😂👍

    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 🤣😂👍

    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👍

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

    The oil shocks serve the beetle well. I especially liked the change of terrain during the driving footage 👍

    • @RCsoandso

      Get a good thick oil I’d say, 800 or 1,000, it will make it handle much better 👍

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

    • @RCsoandso
      @RCsoandso  3 месяца назад

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

      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  3 месяца назад +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 👍

    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  3 месяца назад

      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 🤷‍♂️🙄👍

    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 😲🤯😎

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

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