The Tamiya Monster Beetle was a classic R/C phenomenon from the 1980’s.

After a long absence it is back as an updated assembly kit ready to traverse back yards across the country.

The model features a stylized version of the timeless Volkswagen Beetle body, mounted on an all-action 2WD chassis fitted with big tires for rough-and-tumble off-road fun.
