This re-release version of the Monster Beetle assembly kit features a number of updates while keeping the basic layout of the original off-road car released in 1986. It features a realistic customized Beetle body depicted in tough polystyrene resin, with metal-plated parts supplied in the kit to add the finishing touch for handles and headlight frames. A resin driver figure is the icing on top of the cake! Tough Space Frame Chassis This hardy model's rear-wheel drive chassis is based around a durable ABS space frame to withstand all-action off-road driving. 4-wheel independent suspension uses CVA oil dampers, and has double wishbone front and trailing arm rear setups. Superlative cushioning and grip are provided by 130mm-diameter, 58mm-width lug pattern pin spike tires on flashy gold color plated wheels. Efficient and durable universal shafts come with rubber boots. ?Tire Width/Diameter: 58mm/130mm ?ABS Resin Space Frame ?Rear-Wheel Drive ?3-Bevel Differential Gear ?2-Piece Steering Tie-Rod ?Suspension: Double Wishbone (Front); Trailing Arm (Rear) ?Oil Dampers ?Gear Ratio = 14.7:1 ?Type 540 Motor ?Electronic Speed Controller (Included)
