i would like them to.

Being that the MB was my first ever Tamiya kit, I would dearly love them to re re it!

Perhaps stick it on the Blackfoot Extreme 4WD chassis? Or maybe the King Blackfoot / Bush Devil one?

Anything but the original Frog / Brat one with that horrible gearbox.

It would be the say then

I still have my original bush devil that over the past 20+ years survived some intense abuse. Mentally robust built truck and thing still runs. Never went round corners well. That would be a good re-release. The monster beetle would need that gear box fixing for a release so probably not viable.

Beetle shell. Stick it on a BD / KBF chassis, (with appropriate body mount mods), call it a "Super Monster Beetle". Sorted.

Come to that, once the Sand Scorcher production halts, there's a good chance that the Beetle shells could still be produced, and do the same idea, with white BD wheels, SS decals and colour scheme and have a "Super Sand Scorcher"

That would work. Infact is the idea of a beetle on a blackfoot extreme chassis would be awesome.
