Description

The Tamiya Trail Beetle is a 1/14 scale RC rock crawler that's ready to tackle any off-road challenge. This unique and stylish model features a racy body inspired by customised Volkswagen Beetles, with exaggerated fenders, a simplified rear end, triple auxiliary lights, and metal-plated details for added realism. The Trail Beetle is built on the capable GF-01TR chassis, a gear-driven 4WD platform designed for exceptional off-road performance.

The GF-01TR chassis boasts hub reduction gears on each axle, providing immense traction, high ground clearance, and the ability to tackle tough terrain. The sealed gearbox protects the internals from dust and debris, while the built-in differential gears, filled with included diff putty, ensure smooth cornering and superior traction. The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension and friction shocks provide a comfortable and controlled ride, and the 2-piece tie rod steering setup with the servo on the left offers responsive handling. The yellow rims are fitted with 115mm diameter hybrid pin spike/lug pattern tires for excellent grip and cushioning.

Whether you're a fan of classic off-roaders or simply appreciate a unique and capable RC truck, the Tamiya Trail Beetle is a fantastic choice.
