Very nice! That motor had it moving! I would love to see them re-re this one and like you said, it would take very little for them to do this... they just don't. I guess in a perfect world we would have the whole catalog available to us! It turned out looking great and it sure looked like a lot of fun driving it!!
@@AddamsPlayground So much fun Addam...I think I'm going to get some new rear tires, but besides that it's awesome. I also bought a heat sink for the motor. Can't wait to get this one out again!
@@reitplace4765 Thanks! It's such a simple build and the Blitzers are so much fun! Glad the weather has been good for us in NY. I've been getting plenty of run time in recently 😁
@@JoevsRc Thanks Joe... running this makes me happy lol. It's just a fun little truck. I might upgrade it to brushless at some point. But for now I'll take 33mph, stock it's probably like a 20mph RC.
@@rcicons4915 Yeah, definitely the one you pick up and just bash around without a care...just need better tires...the ones from the king cab would be better, If they fit. I'll have to find some better tires to run on this. Enjoy your weekend Keith!
@@LukesVintageRC The Blitzers are so much fun aren't they? And they just look cool... something about this Falcon chassis. The Falcon, Blitzer Beetle, Stadium Blitzer, Stadium Thunder, Bear Hawk...an awesome family of RCs right there!
@@L.U.C.K.Y.333 That sounds crazy...I hope you changed the tires, these wouldn't last long with a 5.5t brushless motor. If I had a backup one I would definitely try throwing in like a 10.5 brushless setup in it and different tires...see what speeds I get out of it. I'm just afraid of one wrong turn, hit a tree, and it's over 😂
@@eekrc yeah it took it like a champ lol,tires were gone so then I put the rover street tires on it and ran it on the road,one of my favorites,awesome job on the body
@@garyloades5188 I found my decals on eBay for $20us. They are vintage ones too...they have the decal for the resistor, that's the only way I could tell. That's a great deal on a vintage one. I was looking at used ones but they were all beat up so bad. I might buy a spare body just in case they don't re-release this or the Rock Socker.

All 3 in the family are all great fun. One of Tamiya’s best chassis for fun.

@eekrc king cab tires are awesome..they are quite expensive and rare to find..I payed £70 for two😢
@@garyloades5188 I've been looking, no luck yet. I might have to go with "non Tamiya" tires.
Nothing but a good time with this.😊

Wow man love it,I hope tamiya brings it back,I actually had a 5.5t brushless motor in mine lol

They need to bring back the stadium blitzer and the stadium thunder.
@@bradkalman2353 Definitely Brad...The Stadium Thunder body set is so hard to find. And it has the red parts too. I would love to see that again.
