  • Description

    Tamiya is delighted to announce the release of this updated version of the most requested back-catalogue classic, the Monster Beetle!

    The original Monster Beetle #58060 was released back in 1986. After a long absence it is back as an updated assembly kit ready to traverse back yards across the country.

    The model features a stylized version of the timeless Volkswagen Beetle body, mounted on an all-action 2WD chassis fitted with big tires for rough-and-tumble off-road fun.

    This updated version promises to be great fun for both beginners and Tamiya R/C kit veterans alike!

    Features:

    • 1/10 scale R/C model assembly kit.
    • The injection-moulded plastic body accurately captures the classic Tamiya Monster Beetle shape and style.
    • A driver figure is also included.
    • Where possible, the markings from the original model design have been recreated and combined with some newly designed markings.
    • The rugged ABS space-frame chassis from the original model (58060) has remained.
    • The chassis uses a double-wishbone front with trailing arm rear suspension setups that work in tandem with the CVA oil dampers.
    • The rear universal drive shafts transfer power smoothly and come with rubber boots to protect them from dust.
    • A large dust cover is included to protect the R/C equipment.
    • The incredible 130mm diameter tyres with lug/pin spike tread provides fantastic off-road performance.
    • The tyres are also paired with gold-effect, one-piece wheels.
    • Length: 410mm
    • Width: 290mm
    • Height: 240mm
    • Supplied with ESC

    Requires: Radio Control System with 1 Servo, 7.2v Battery & Charger, suitable Paint for the Bodyshell (optional), Tools for Assembly.
