Thanks to its superlative reliability and uncomplicated upkeep, it was a fixture on the global rally circuit from the 1950s through to the 1980s, and this model is inspired by such rallying Beetles. The VW body sits atop Tamiya's proven shaft-driven 4WD MF-01X chassis, which is at home on a range of surfaces from road to flat dirt.Required: 2 Channel Radio SystemChargerBattery BackSpray Paint8 x AA BatteriesTools Review: Awesome build, tons of fun to drive - This is my second Tamiya kit build, and it sure was a ton of fun. The instructions were perfectly clear and easy to follow - just take note of which body configuration the car uses! I used a highlighter to mark parts of the build that were specific to the Beetle's frame size so that I wouldn't mess up as I went along. I loved the look of the beetle on the box, so I decided to do all of the painting and decals 100% by the book using Tamiya polycarbonate paints. The black hood with the matte finish is exceptional looking, as are the "chrome" plastic bumpers and mirrors. I like the look of the long antenna, and for better visibility I added a little construction flag. The provided motor is pretty ordinary and doesn't have a ton of power, but I'm not generally going 100% speed off road so this is not really a big deal for me. I also find that it has a satisfyingly "authentic" high pitched sound, not unlike a real vintage Beetle. It's fun on the road, but the real joy is cruising around on gravel or on a grassy beach like in my attached photo. This car doesn't have a ton of lift, so it's relatively easy to high-center on rocky terrain. This just adds to the challenge! It is a 4wd vehicle and comes with grippy tires, and it performs markedly better than my 2wd rear-wheel Tamiya Subaru Brat on slick surfaces. After a long day of playing, I will tune the car up by tightening anything loose, shaking dirt and rocks out of the chassis, and washing the body gently with water. I use a dry paintbrush and canned air to loosen stubborn dirt in the chassis. With care, I have no doubt this car will last a long time. My kit did come with an ESC, but if this is your first build you will need tools, batteries, and RC radio/receiver. If you've been wanting to build a hobby RC kit, this would be a great pick. Review: Built it and it will roll - Great kit fun to build just pay attention to the gears and the extensions. ## Features - Highly accurate static display model. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B075C6VZHT | | Additional Features | Remote Control, VW Beetle Rally Design | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Battery Description | Lithium-Ion Polymer | | Best Sellers Rank | #472,452 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #1,879 in Hobby RC Cars | | Brand Name | TAMIYA | | Color | Unvarnished | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 172 Reviews | | Educational Objective | Mechanical and electrical assembly learning | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04950344586509 | | Included Components | Tamiya 58650 RC Volkswagen Beetle Rally MF-01X | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Outdoor | | Item Dimensions | 17.5 x 8.38 x 7 inches | | Item Type Name | MODEL KIT | | Item Weight | 4.1 pounds | | Manufacturer | Tamiya | | Manufacturer Part Number | TAM58650 | | Manufacturer recommended age | 16 - 16 years | | Material Type | Polycarbonate (PC) | | Model Name | RC Volkswagen Beetle Rally MF-01X | | Model Number | TAM58650 | | Model Year | 1967 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Number of Players | 1 player | | Operation Mode | manual | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Scale | 1:10 Scale | | Set Name | RC Volkswagen Beetle Rally MF-01X | | Size | 397x163x151 mm (15.6x6.4x5.9 inches) | | Sub Brand | Volkswagen | | Theme | rally | | Toy Vehicle Form | Car | ## Images ![Tamiya 58650 RC Volkswagen Beetle Rally MF-01X - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pTmmKeOWL.jpg) ![Tamiya 58650 RC Volkswagen Beetle Rally MF-01X - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pMSy0U9iL.jpg) ![Tamiya 58650 RC Volkswagen Beetle Rally MF-01X - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71HUZGwzmpL.jpg) ![Tamiya 58650 RC Volkswagen Beetle Rally MF-01X - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fbJsHvhbL.jpg) ![Tamiya 58650 RC Volkswagen Beetle Rally MF-01X - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UxAOBgqfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome build, tons of fun to drive *by N***E on August 10, 2018* This is my second Tamiya kit build, and it sure was a ton of fun.
