Tamiya 1/9 Scale Volkswagen Dune Beetle Cross (BB-02) RC Model Kit

Tamiya 1/9 Scale Volkswagen Dune Beetle Cross (BB-02) RC Model Kit

This R/C car assembly kit is inspired by Volkswagen Beetles which take part in American off-road races. The chassis offers front suspension arm choices – double trailing arms or double wishbone arms, and features floor pan design motifs with front and rear tyre housings to protect the model from dust and dirt. Details such as a window net, fire extinguisher, exhaust pipes and roll cage enhance realism, and driver and co-driver figures feature a modern off-road race style. Get ready for this kit, which combines realistic looks and superlative off-road performance!

FEATURES:

• The newly designed 1.0mm thick polycarbonate body recreates a race-oriented Beetle which features bulging front and rear fenders and a removed rear engine hood
• The roll cage ensures chassis rigidity and protects driver figures
• Light pods, front and tail lights, are realistically captured
• Light cases moulded in black are included for attachment of separately sold LED lights
• Seated driver and co-driver figures with full-face helmets and dedicated arm parts are included
• Distinctive stickers are an original design for this kit
• Driver and co-driver (and their name stickers) are female
• Features realistic depictions of details such as a window net, fire extinguisher, shift stick, steering wheel, air cleaner, pulley, muffler and exhaust pipes for extra realism
• The rear-wheel drive BB-02 chassis has floor pan design motifs with front and rear tyre housings to protect the model from dust
• The R/C equipment box is positioned under driver and co-driver figures
• Features a lengthwise battery pack with the motor at the rear for optimum balance
• The sealed gearbox has a built-in ball differential, and drive shafts have joint boots for reliable off-road performance
• 4-wheel independent suspension uses front double trailing arms or double wishbone arms, and rear trailing arms
  •  Front double trailing arms: common suspension on full-size vehicles / longer arms and increased stroke / stable, straight-line performance / suited to flat dirt surfaces 
  • Front double wishbone arms: common on unlimited class vehicles / long arms give superlative ground-hugging / stable jumps / suited to off-road courses
• Adaptive dampers limit oil leakage. As the piston moves, the oil seal changes shape and air passes through the hole, reducing oil leakage
• The battery pack can be installed from the bottom of the chassis by opening its hatch
• Hex hub wheels are paired with front rib pattern tyres for directional stability and rear square spike tyres for high grip
• Motor and ESC not included
