407 – A Song For Billy Ray: Motor and Esc Cabled, Body Rescued

Well, the revamp of my Stadium Blitzer (Beetle) is confirming itself as the claimed chaotic build.

I’ve rescued the body previously used in my CR01 removing all the stickers and washing it in the wait of some custom sticker that should make it more appealing for a young gun.

I’ve also installed the LRP motor and soldered the Quicrun cables to it tabs and the ESC's switch have been sticked to the chassis wall in a easy to reach position.

The goofy antenna holder, made by a FF03 body spacer, have been moved in the middle of the chassis to match the body’s hole for the antenna pipe.

406 – Kyosho Ultima Dirtmaster Motor Swap – Cooling Down The Situation

Last year, after its build, I couldn’t enjoy my Ultima because of the high temperatures reached by the ESC using the 15x2 peak motor.

Of course I should gear down using a different pinion but I’ve decided to swap the motor to the 19T Team Orion Element bought at first for my BBX.

I hope the car keep its aggressive attitude but with lower running temperatures, finger crossed because this summer do seems to be one of the hottest.

405 - LRP Buggy Special 4. My Choice For The Blitzer, Again!

The build/revamp of the Stadium Blitzer I’ve decide to gift the young Billy Ray is going a bit chaotic but the recent fail with the body paint destabilized my a bit maybe because of it’s started from a quick inspiration.


As motor for the Blitzer I’ve rescued from my Madcap this LRP Buggy Special 4, already installed in the Blitzer but ran some months after in the Madcap… a kind of return to home and, more strange, without any memories about its performance, we will see.


I’ve also refined, curling the wires, the Quicrun ESC according to the Tamiya servo wires already in place.
