Overview

This kit comes without an Electronic Speed Control. Click Here to view our range of ESCs.

This re-release version of the Monster Beetle assembly kit features a number of updates while keeping the basic layout of the original off-road car released in 1986. It features a realistic customized Beetle body depicted in tough polystyrene resin, with metal-plated parts supplied in the kit to add the finishing touch for handles and headlight frames. A resin driver figure is the icing on top of the cake!

This hardy model's rear-wheel drive chassis is based around a durable ABS space frame to withstand all-action off-road driving. 4-wheel independent suspension uses CVA oil dampers, and has double wishbone front and trailing arm rear setups. Superlative cushioning and grip are provided by 130mm-diameter, 58mm-width lug pattern pin spike tires on flashy gold color plated wheels. Efficient and durable universal shafts come with rubber boots.

Note

This kit comes without an Electronic Speed Control.

This body shell can be painted using the Tamiya TS series of lacquer paints. Polycarbonate paints such as the Tamiya PS series will not adhere and/or cause damage to the body shell's surface.
