For those who are still playing with their TB-01 cars and considering mods or conversions, I just thought I'd let it be known that the Tamiya Levant (not the 'super' version) is entirely based on the...

I had a 'Blitzer Beetle', which was a Stadium Blitzer with a Sand Scorcher body on it; it was one of the better handling off-road 2wd cars from Tamiya - which is probably why they're re-released the...
