Backyard Blitzer
This is a 1/10 scale R/C assembly kit of the Blitzer Beetle, which was inspired by the exciting off-road desert racer designs seen in the United States. 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 greater realism. In addition, a driver figure as well as a sticker sheet to depict the fiery splash-pattern livery are also included.
Superb 2WD Off-Road Chassis
This tough, lightweight ABS bathtub chassis features a rear-mounted motor, rear-wheel drive layout. Fully-enclosed gearbox protects against dirt and debris and is equipped with differential gears to offer smooth cornering. 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension is equipped with C.V.A. shock units and extremely durable monocoque-type lower arms. The front spiked tires feature three ribs for enhanced stability while the rear tires feature both spikes and an X-shaped tread pattern along the center to ensure high levels of grip.
