Tamiya 58122 Blitzer Beetle Retro Off-Road Buggy Kit  [58122]

Blitzer Beetle - Colourful Off-Road Icon

The Tamiya 58122 Blitzer Beetle catches attention with a familiar silhouette and rugged capability, offering a 1/10 scale assembly kit that transforms the classic Volkswagen Beetle look into a capable off-road 2WD buggy. Oversized tyres and bright graphics give it character while keeping the focus on fun driving.

Body and Chassis Notes

The shell is moulded from ABS plastic and comes with sticker sheets to personalise the finish. The model keeps a straightforward 2WD rear-wheel setup and a gearbox driven via a dog bone drive shaft for dependable power transfer. A fully independent double wishbone suspension helps keep the buggy stable over rough ground.

Motor, Shocks and Tyres

Powered by a standard 540-brushed motor, the Blitzer Beetle provides steady torque for dirt and grass. Oil-filled plastic shock absorbers tame impacts and the rubber pin spike tyres deliver grip on loose surfaces. The kit also includes a mechanical ESC so builders can manage throttle response once electronics are fitted.

Tamiya 58122 Blitzer Beetle suits both first-time builders and experienced RC fans who want a blend of classic style and practical off-road performance for backyard sessions or local dirt tracks.
