R/C Monster Beetle (2015) (ESC incl.)

Tamiya 58618-600

This re-release version of the Monster Beetle assembly kit features several 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!

Tough Space Frame Chassis

This hardy model’s rear-wheel drive chassis is based around a durable ABS space frame to withstand all-action off-road driving. The 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 colour-plated wheels. Efficient and durable universal shafts come with rubber boots.
