Hi Guys, I've searched the web and the forum here for some basic info on the Opel blitz but I mostly found info on the tanker version. I just got my Blitz so I'm looking for tutorial videos, build threads, instructions, etc. Stuff like how guys have mounted the steering servo and battery options and whatever else I can find, so if you know of a good place to look for that kind of info please let me know. If you want to see the box opening video of the Blitz it's here

Thanks, Kaiser, that will help with the modeling part. The one with the tire chains looked interesting.

I got a CD with instructions mostly in German with a few paragraphs of English in between. I'll have to spend more time studying that, but from skimming over the PDF it seems to deal mostly with the electronics board, and not practical stuff like where to hide a battery. For now I'll probably hide stuff under a tarp in the bed. It will also have to be disassembled partially for painting so I was hoping to find a build thread. If I have to stumble through on my own I'll create a build thread for anyone that follows after me. Has no one here got one of these trucks?

What's the best board to start a thread for a box opening? I have a Jagdtiger on the way so I plan to do a video.

That all sounds like good advice. I'll post the box opening in general and mention the coming build thread and post that in rc cars/trucks. I have some pics for the new build thread so I'll get those up to photobucket. I still wish I could browse photos from my PC!
