F/S 2015 Tamiya Monster Beetle + Extras + Land Cruiser FJ40 Body

Recommended Posts

I have decided to move onto something else R/C wise, so I am selling my 2015 Tamiya Monster Beetle. Its been ran approx 8-10 times at most, but has def been alot of fun. Was built as per the manual, but the diff has been locked (so there is no clicking etc), full bearings were used on the whole chassis in place of the useless plastic bushings, also has carbon fibre battery stays fitted, custom wheelie bar, also included is a used LRP Quantum ESC, Reedy 12x2 KR motor and a standard Steering servo. Also comes with all the small spare parts that were left from the built, spare body mounts etc. Original build manual and original box too, complete with insert. Also comes with a full set of spare diff parts (brand new) and a spare spur gear (brand new). Also included is the Tamiya Land Cruiser FJ40 bodyset I painted and fitted last week to make it more scale like. The black wings/fenders and silver runners on the body were painted using Tamiya X paints on the outside of the body, but in no way detracts from the look. The wheels have been painted gloss black with a silver lip. The tyres are not glued and surprisingly stay on with no issues even with the 12x2 motor powering it.

Now the slightly bad points. All of which are on the bodies.

1 - The Monster Beetle body hasn't been painted, the decals were applied and it was laquered, its looks ok for a runner. But the finish has turned very orange peely over time.

2 - The Monster Beetle body has a tiny crack above the side windows (as pictured) and one of the side windows has a crack in it (again pictured) and both mirrors are missing and the wipers are now CA glued in place (as pictured)

3 - The Land Cruiser FJ40 Body has some blemishes on it as I stupidly ran out of metallic red before backing it with silver (as pictured)

All in all it would make a great runner, or a good shelf car to add a mint body too as the chassis is in almost mint condition.

Due to weight and size I would prefer to post within the UK.  Price is £120 posted, or I can split and do just the MB for £100.

It will all be very well packed up inside another large box so as not to damage the kit box or anything else.

Any questions, or any other pictures needed please feel free to ask.

Bump before it goes on evilbay, electrics have now been removed (still comes with servo installed) so price reduced to £80 posted for just the Monster Beetle, or £95 for the whole lot.

Still available?

When you say electrics have been removed - is there no motor at all?
