DESCRIPTION
Bug Rally!
Production of the Volkswagen Beetle (Type 1) began in 1949 and thanks to its distinctive rounded form with no-frills interior, it became a familiar sight across the world. Powered by a rear-mounted flat 4 engine, the lightweight Beetle offered superlative reliability and uncomplicated upkeep, which helped make the car a fixture on the global rally circuit from the 1950s through to the 1980s. This RC model assembly kit is inspired by such rallying Beetles. Its lightweight polycarbonate body artfully captures the Beetle form, with metal-plated parts recreating bumpers and side mirrors. Stickers and light pod parts give the model a rallying air.

MF-01X – Compact 4WD At Home On A Range Of Surfaces
Based around a tough monocoque frame with integrated gearboxes, this compact 4WD chassis gives a thrilling drive whether you take it on road or flat dirt surfaces. It features a rear-mounted motor, with gear-driven rear wheels and a propeller shaft taking power to the front. Both front and rear gearboxes have differential gears. The battery pack location in the chassis center secures excellent balance, while 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension employs friction dampers. Off-road capable M-05Ra chassis uprights and hub carriers, plus rally block tires are also included.

– Body is made of polycarbonate. Bumpers and side mirrors are recreated using separate metal-plated parts.
– Front light pods and rally-style stickers included.
– Includes Rally block tires.
– The MF-01X is at home on-road or on flat dirt, thanks to 4-wheel double wishbone suspension.
– Power from the rear mounted motor is transmitted by gear differential to the rear wheels, and via a propeller shaft to the front.
