The long-awaited return of the unique machine that was popular all over the world!

The basics of the electric RC off-road car "Monster Beetle", which was released in 1986 and became a hit all over the world with its comical style and high off-road performance. This is a reprint version with the same configuration and improvements. The first generation Volkswagen was highly popular as a base vehicle for machines that compete in real buggy races such as the Baja 1000 and Baja 500 held in Mexico's Baja California Peninsula. The body is made of styrene resin and is a realistic reproduction of the Beetle's custom specifications. The protruding front and rear fenders, cut rear end, changed front mask, and three auxiliary lights create a racing mood. In addition, the headlight ring Plated parts are used for the door mirrors and door mirrors, giving a high sense of scale. In addition, a styrene resin driver figure is also included.

Unique rear wheel drive chassis has been refined in every part!

The chassis was first used in Mighty Frog. A two-wheel drive type with a unique space frame structure that has attracted attention. The space frame is made of high-strength ABS resin that can withstand hard off-road driving, and has a red colour that coordinates with the body. The feet have gold-plated wheels and deep Big tires with a diameter of 130mm and a width of 58mm with spikes added to the lug pattern are noteworthy. They have excellent cushioning properties and exhibit high grip. And the drive shaft with a rubber boot transfers power to the rear wheel without loss and does not fall off. Uses a universal assembly so you don't have to worry about it. The Monster Beetle, with its unique body and dynamic driving experience, will let you rediscover the fun of off-road driving.
