Hobby Remote Control Tamiya Tam58618 Rc Monster Beetle 2015 Rc Cars & Trucks

The Tamiya Monster Beetle is one iconic R/C kit. I am particularly impressed by this version that takes the classic body. The gear-driven chassis with reduction gears (also known as portal axles), allows a better transverse trail terrain as it lifts the bottom of the chassis to better clear obstacles that could high center the vehicle. This gear-driven 4WD chassis is a lightweight and tough monocoque frame, with power provided by the centrally-positioned motor. Reduction gears on each axle slow the drive shaft rotation for immense traction, great ground clearance, and I've found it has a distinct ability to take on tough off-road terrain. The gearbox is sealed to protect from dust and debris, and integrated into the frame; it has built-in differential gears that provide superb traction and durability, and I've used differential putty. The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension utilizes friction dampers, while a 2-piece tie-rod steering setup with the servo on the left gives an excellent response. Requires: 2-Channel Radio, servo, 7. 2-7. 4volt round shape battery pack & compatible charger, and Tamiya TS paints.
