Tamiya Monster Beetle 2015 (No ESC)

The Tamiya Monster Beetle 2015 (No ESC) is a 1/10 scale 2WD monster truck kit. It arrives as a box of parts rather than a finished car, so you assemble the chassis, fit the electronics and paint or trim the body before the first run.

Finished, it measures 410mm long.

Key specifications

• 1/10 scale RC model assembly kit
• The injection-moulded plastic body accurately captures the classic Tamiya Monster Beetle shape and style
• A driver figure is also included
• 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 from the original model (58060) has remained
• The chassis uses a double-wishbone front with trailing arm rear suspension setups that work in tandem with the CVA oil dampers
• The rear universal drive shafts transfer power smoothly and come with rubber boots to protect them from dust
• A large dust cover is included to protect the RC equipment
• 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 wheels

Tamiya kits are designed to be built with hand tools and a clear manual, which is what makes them a common first build as well as a shelf favourite.
