The body designated to revamp my Stadium Blitzer was originally destined to my CR-01 so the existing mountig holes need to be filled.
Previously I've reinforced the body by the inside usign some duct tape and after I've used some Tamiya R/C Polycarbonate Body Reinforcing Cement bough on porpouse. Of course I'm not going to repaint the body from the outside so the filled holes will be covered with some custom decals.
Just after the middle of august 2026 Tamiya (via this video from Tamiya USA) shows to the world its way to raise the level: the BB-02.
A brand new car, a brand new model that is strongly linked to the previous buggy version of the BB: the BB-01.
A model with deep roots in the Tamiya tradition because the buggy has been followed by a Beetle that shares the same concept: as the Sand Schorcher followed the Rough Rider back in the days.
Now it's my turn, as modeller, to start to save some moneys and to star to gather the electronics to put in this new milestone.
As previously written, during last holidays, I had much fun with my Wild One on my -not perfect- lawn: the ESC+motor binomial made perfectly its work without fails or overheating but the car needs some care, anyway.
In running the car on the grass I’ve experienced much rollovers due to the excess of grip of the choosen Schumacher tires. I love how the car looks with its rims wrapped with four serious buggy’s tires so, to keep them, I’m considering to shave one of two rows of pins from the rear ones.
The second correction/upgrade I’m considering is about the steering servo and the servo saver. In the past I’ve made some attempts to improve the steering with the Tamiya #51000 servo saver without finding a way to use it but, thanks to the relax of last holidays, I’m pretty sure that I will do the work using some spacers. At this point I will upgrade the car with a new servo because of the old KO one is showing its limits.
