Years ago, in revamping my Blitzer, I had reinstalled the electronics I've been used to run before I swapped from the EX-5 to the 3PV so, to prepare it for Billy Ray, I had to "clean" the chassis before and the old KO receiver and Savox servo have been removed.
Now the Tamiya TSU-1 servo is in place and the Hobbywing Quicrun 1060 awaits its wires to be curl and that a motor is installed where solder the extended cables (in black).
The first step to give my Stadium Blitzer (Beetle) a new life is the choice of the electronics.
In the bunch of servos and ESCs rescued by my spare boxes I've choose the Tamiya TSU-01 servo that came ages ago with my Grasshopper and the Quicrun 1060 bought years ago for an unknow reason.
The ESC has been switched back to Tamiya plug for battery making a joint between OEM and spares cables already equipped with the J plug meanwhile motor cables have been only extended awaiting to be soldered to motor tabs.
In a short time a will order a simple radio easy to handle by a 11/12yo young gun.
Billy Ray is the nickname of a young gun, the younger son of my best friend.
The friendship between me and his father, a talented and passionate mechanic, counts more than three decades and it is mainly focused on cars, fourwheeling, having fun and lending each other an hand when needed.
My Stadium Blitzer is laying around from a while since when I’ve repaired, renewed and converted it in to a kind of Blitzer Beetle. I haven’t the intention to put it back in to my runners fleet so I’ve rescued it, I will complete and I will give it to Billy Ray that, for sure, will have so much fun in driving it… of course i twill be a suprise.

| Some electronics have been rescued also, I need only a good radio set for a beginner. |
