Remote-Controlled Volkswagen Beetle Rally Car Kit for Off-Road

The classic Volkswagen Beetle in rally racing form is recreated in this R/C model assembly kit. Inspired by the rallying Beetles that were a fixture on the global rally circuit from the 1950s through to the 1980s, the model boasts a range of impressive features.

The 239mm L wheelbase provides the foundation for the polycarbonate body, while the bumpers and side mirrors are recreated using separate metal-plated parts, adding an authentic touch. Front light pods and rally-style stickers are included, further enhancing the rally-inspired aesthetic.

Underneath, the MF-01X chassis from Tamiya is the backbone of the model, delivering a proven shaft-driven 4WD system that performs equally well on-road or on flat dirt, thanks to its 4-wheel double wishbone suspension. Power from the rear-mounted motor is transmitted by a gear differential to the rear wheels, and via a propeller shaft to the front, ensuring smooth and efficient power delivery.

The chassis can be assembled into S and M wheelbases using separately sold propeller shafts, allowing for customization and versatility. The Rally block tires provide the necessary traction and grip for both on-road and off-road excursions, further expanding the model's capabilities.

Overall, this R/C model captures the essence of the classic Volkswagen Beetle, combining it with the proven performance and reliability of the Tamiya MF-01X chassis. Whether you're a seasoned rally enthusiast or a newcomer to the hobby, this kit offers an engaging and authentic R/C experience, allowing you to recreate the glory days of Volkswagen's iconic rally heritage.
