58672 Tamiya | Monster Beetle Trail

Trail Beetle

This R/C model assembly kit creates a vehicle which offers an excellent off-road drive. Moulded in detailed ABS plastic, its racy body is inspired by customised Volkswagen Beetles, and features exaggerated fenders, a simplified rear end, triple auxiliary lights and more. Metal-plated parts recreate headlights, auxiliary lights and the rear depiction of the engine. The GF-01TR chassis provides a dynamic off-road drive.

GF-01TR: Awesome Traction

This gear-driven 4WD chassis is based around a lightweight and tough monocoque frame, with power provided by the centrally-positioned motor. Reduction gears on each axle slow drive shaft rotation for immense traction, great ground clearance, and the ability to take on tough off-road terrain.

The gearbox is sealed to protect from dust and debris, and integrated into the frame; built-in differential gears provide superb traction and durability with the use of included diff putty. 4-wheel double wishbone suspension utilises friction dampers, while a 2-piece tie rod steering setup with the servo on the left gives excellent response.

Yellow wheels are fitted with 115mm diameter hybrid pin spike/lug pattern tires for superior cushioning and grip. The chassis utilises a 'square' setup with similar tread and wheelbase lengths.
