Enjoy driving on the dirt with a realistic body in original colour.

Since its birth in 1949, it has featured a rounded and humorous style, an air-cooled horizontally opposed 4-cylinder engine mounted in the rear with sufficient power, and a simple and practical design. The Volkswagen Beetle (Type 1) had a great interior and was loved all over the world. Despite its small displacement, it was lightweight, durable enough to withstand heavy use on rough roads, and easy to maintain, making it popular in rallies around the world from the 1950s to the early 1980s. This is an assembly kit for an electric RC car made in the image of the Beetle that participated in such rallies. The body is made of lightweight and shock-resistant polycarbonate. The unique form has been faithfully modelled, and the front and rear bumpers and door mirrors are reproduced with plated parts. Light pods and stickers are also included to enhance the rally mood. This car has a realistic body and is fun to drive on dirt roads.

MF-01 X chassis, a compact shaft 4WD that expands the driving scene

The chassis uses the MF-01 The highly strong left-right split monocoque frame has been integrated with the gearbox for ease of assembly. A motor is mounted on the rear end, and power is transmitted to the rear wheels using gears and to the front wheels using a propeller shaft. A differential gear is installed in the front and rear sealed gear cases to achieve smooth cornering. Furthermore, the battery for driving is set almost in the center of the vehicle body for a good weight balance. The suspension consists of 4 independent double wishbone wheels equipped with friction dampers. The upright hub carrier is for the M-05Ra chassis, which is compatible with off-road driving, and Rally Block tires are installed.
