This one will remain a shelfer.

It only has some small scratches on the roof from storage and the front license plate holder is missing.

lunchbox wheelie bar. it will help a little

ORIGINAL: Eman77

Thanks! Any wheelie bar ideas?




Chicken-man - I got an LB wheelie bar, and was putting it on the Stadium Thunder. But the bar is shaped to fit the curve of the LB/MP transmission case. As a result, it wiggles up/down as mounted on the ST tranny.

How do you keep yours from slamming up/down during hard wheelies on it, digging into the case? I was going to try and cable-tie some foam padding in there, but it's kind of a hack solution....

Status: offline 		Well here is one of my current projects. I got this car a while back free in the box I got my one of my stadium blitzers in from ebay. I didn't even know what it was at first but made use of it now.

My FREE Futaba FXT w/Dyna Blaster body and wheels.
This kit still needs bearings and motor ect. but I think it's going to see some use at the parking lot.

Status: offline 		I have a good friend with a Tamiya Stadium Blitzer. New in box, only the front end was put together. This is NOT the repro. It's the original one, body still unpainted and stickers still perfect. Anyone have an idea what it's worth? I looked on Ebay and could only find the repro's. He's asking me to help him find out what it's worth before he sells it. Also, should he finish the build or leave it as is before selling it. Thanks

hawks.

Got a line on a sweet Bear Hawk . Hope to have it soon.

Feel like I'm talking to my self now the Blitzer was re-released but there is some great cars out there with this chassi that could find a home here.

Some news here.

Was dissasembling my hardly run Bear Hawk until I discovered this:

The previous owner totally hacked up the right gear case! Why? No idea, maybe he was trying to fit a bigger motor or something.
What a mess! You can even see the gears through the hacked part! There goes another 'low budget' project...
I have a new gearbox housing and some other parts on the way.

Am considering getting just the body and wheels/tires (if available for reasonable $$) and swap it on my Stadium Thunder for kicks now and again.

Lots of traxus stuff  but me and my 3 year old boy are bumping old school tamiya!! Getting props for mu boy whipping  a stadium thunder and myself a Blitzer.

Very happy to add this one to the family, now if I could just built a bear hawk out of all these left over parts.
