When you consider the obscure 1/16 trucks that WPL and JJRC are making it does make me wonder why they don't make a 1/16 Opel Blitz,
They would surely clean up at the prices their products sell for when compared to the competition such as Asiatam er al.

At least with ebay you're always covered if things go wrong.

It is unlikely the seller would have any feed back yet. They only joined ebay on April 13 this year. It is interesting the range of prices for apparently identical models. The buy it now price are quite hefty.

The part that worries me is that it says it needs a 3.7 volt lipo. That's a 1S. How much run time do you really think you'd get on one of those? I don't think I've ever seen a 1S lipo rated for more than about 500 mah, but I realize that just because I haven't seen one doesn't mean they don't make them. This is one I would definitely like to have, but it's also one that I'm definitely going to wait until somebody else on the Forum gets one and reviews it.

The different prices reflect what truck comes with, the basic one in the link doesn't have a battery, speed controller or transmitter, the second to dearest does, and apparently the dearer ones are ready to run, and have extra lights or a 20mm gun.
I'm moving this to general discussion from recommended vendors, because we don't know anything about this vendor. Therefore we can neither recommend nor blacklist them yet, time will tell.

I tell seller about this topic - maybe he join us and tell more. I want this model! But hard to know what you buy on this auction

Hello,
we are watching the Opel Blitz auctions here in Germany too.
My recommendation is to wait
Let others go first and wait for the first reviews...that saves money
