[Product Description]
Product Introduction
【A popular unique machine that gained worldwide popularity makes a long-awaited comeback!】
Released in 1986, the electric RC off-road car "Monster Beetle" became a hit worldwide due to its comical style and high off-road capability. This is a reissue with improvements while maintaining the basic structure.
The body, which vividly reproduces the custom specifications of the first-generation Volkswagen Beetle, a popular base vehicle for buggy races such as Baja 1000 and Baja 500 held on the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico, is made of styrol resin.
The protruding front and rear fenders, cut rear end, modified front mask, and three auxiliary lights create a racing mood.
Additionally, chrome parts are used for the headlight rings and door mirrors, enhancing the scale realism.
A styrol resin driver figure is also included.
【Refined Unique Rear-Wheel Drive Chassis!】
The chassis features a unique space frame structure with two-wheel drive, first introduced in the Mighty Frog, attracting attention.
The high-strength ABS resin space frame, which withstands tough off-road driving, is finished in red to match the body.
The large tires, with a diameter of 130mm and width of 58mm, feature deep lug patterns with spikes and are mounted on gold-plated wheels.
They provide excellent cushioning and high grip.
The drive shaft with rubber boots transmits power efficiently to the rear wheels without loss and uses an assembly universal that prevents detachment.
The Monster Beetle, with its distinctive body and dynamic driving, will help rediscover the fun of off-road driving.
