Length: 410mm, width: 290mm, height: 240mm. The injection-moulded plastic body accurately captures the classic Tamiya Monster Beetle shape and style. Where possible, the markings from the original model design have been recreated and combined with some newly designed markings. The rugged ABS space-frame chassis fromthe original model (58060) has remained. The chassis uses a double-wishbone front with trailing arm rear suspension setups that work in tandum with the CVA oil dampers.

The incredible 130mm diameter tyres with lug/pin spike tread provides fantastic off-road performance. The tyres are also paired with gold-effect, (one-piece) rims. A driver figure is also included.

Extremely easy to make. Just need a PZ1 and PZ2 screwdriver, Pliers and superglue for the rear tyres. You’ll see four tiny holes in the rim. A tiny drop in each one. Get proper ball bearings for the front wheels, makes all the difference. When you fill the dampers give them a couple of minutes flicking the sides to get the bubbles out. Very important. As for the paint job wash the body shell in the sink, let it dry and spray it. Don’t use a brush. Then use a sharp blade to cut out the decals. Last of all take it to the nearest grassy field and give it a spin!

Brilliant kit, like others I wanted one of these 30 years ago but couldn't afford one. My kids helped with the build and loved it so much they now have a Vanessa's Lunchbox. Very impressed with Wondeland Models; I Ordered this kit along with all the required paints and a staff member called very promptly to say one item was out of stock, would it be ok to substitute for another brand. All arrived shortly afterwards. Thank you :-)

I was a big fan of Tamiya RC in the 1980's & always wanted the Monster Beetle but couldn't justify the high cost of the kits back then. So, 30 years on...I have finally got my hands on the kit and am part way through the build. Looking forward to the first run out! Wonderland delivered promptly and I upgraded the RC pack for the 'racing' version.
