1:9 Tamiya 58757 RC Buggy - Volkswagen Dune Beetle Cross - BB-02 Chassis RC Plastic Model kit

Bring real character to your RC collection with the 1:9 Tamiya 58757 Volkswagen Dune Beetle Cross on the new BB-02 chassis. Inspired by Volkswagen Beetles competing in American off-road races, this rear-wheel-drive RC buggy combines classic Baja styling with modern RC engineering. Bulging fenders, an exposed rear section, light pods, roll cage and detailed cockpit give it a purposeful racing look, while the chassis is designed for genuine off-road driving fun.

The BB-02 chassis uses a longitudinal battery layout with the motor positioned at the rear for well-balanced weight distribution. At the front, you can choose between double trailing arms for stable performance on flatter dirt surfaces or double wishbones for greater suspension movement, jumps and demanding off-road courses. A sealed gearbox with ball differential, four-wheel independent suspension, adaptive dampers, full ball bearings and dedicated tyre patterns give the Dune Beetle Cross plenty of capability on different surfaces.

Tamiya also packs this RC Volkswagen with visual detail. Two female driver figures with full-face helmets are included, together with a window net, fire extinguisher, gear lever, steering wheel, air cleaner, pulley, muffler and exhaust details. LED light buckets are fitted for an optional lighting upgrade. This is an RC assembly kit: transmitter, steering servo, ESC, 540-size motor, 7.2-7.4V drive battery and compatible charger are not included. Additional high-quality battery and electronic components are therefore required. At Most-Models.com, you can combine this distinctive Tamiya buggy with excellent customer service from a webshop focused on modelling and RC enthusiasts.
