Blitzer Beetle - Nostalgic Buggy Appeal

Tamiya 58122 Blitzer Beetle blends a retro Volkswagen Beetle aesthetic with practical off-road engineering in a 1/10 scale kit. Its lively paint scheme and chunky tyres are geared toward enjoyable runs over dirt, grass and light trails.

Shell, Stickers and Frame

The body is formed from ABS plastic and supplied with decal sheets so you can customise the finish. The drive layout is a simple 2WD rear-wheel arrangement with a gearbox turned by a dog bone drive line, and the plastic chassis offers a user-friendly platform for electronics and upgrades. Fully independent double wishbone suspension aids control on uneven terrain.

Drive Components and Handling

With a 540-brushed motor fitted in stock setup, the Blitzer Beetle delivers reliable forward motion for casual off-road use. Oil-filled plastic shock absorbers absorb bumps while rubber pin spike tyres provide traction on loose surfaces. The included mechanical ESC gives basic speed control for tuning throttle feel.

The Tamiya 58122 Blitzer Beetle is suitable for modders and beginners alike, offering straightforward assembly and a platform that takes basic upgrades well for tougher runs.
