Description

The Kyosho Baja Beetle 2014 is a triumphant return of a true RC legend. This reimagined icon captures the spirit of the original Baja Beetle, a buggy that, along with the Scorpion, helped define electric buggy racing in the 1980s, while incorporating modern technology and performance enhancements for today's enthusiasts. The Baja Beetle 2014 retains the classic Buggy 2014 chassis layout, but with upgraded materials and components throughout.

The Baja Beetle 2014 features a durable and lightweight 6061T6 forged aluminium chassis, providing exceptional strength and rigidity. The two-piece die-cast aluminium gearbox with differential gears and an included slipper clutch delivers smooth and reliable power transfer, while precision 48-pitch gears ensure precise control and responsiveness. The flat under-surface of the countersunk chassis minimises contact resistance and scraping, enhancing durability for off-road adventures. Stainless steel shafts and aluminium cylinders in the oil shocks provide a smooth and consistent damping action, delivering a true racing buggy experience.

Like the original Beetle, the 2014 version is packaged as an unassembled kit, but with the added convenience of lightweight and secure hex screws. Whether you're a seasoned racer who remembers the magic of the original Baja Beetle or a newcomer eager to experience a classic design with modern performance, the Kyosho Baja Beetle 2014 is a must-have.
