Tamiya 17001 - 1/32 Wild Mini 4WD Monster Beetle Junior Model Kit Special Edition  [17001]

Tamiya 17001 1/32 Monster Beetle Junior - Iconic Mini 4WD Style

The Tamiya 17001 Monster Beetle Junior delivers a strong visual identity alongside pragmatic design from the Wild Mini 4WD series. This 1/32 scale kit offers a playful build that also showcases genuine driving traits, making it appealing for collectors and hobby drivers. Its compact, reinforced chassis supports wheelie and two-wheel driving, with a central motor that powers both axles through a sidewinder gear layout. The oversized tyres contribute to its distinctive look and add traction for fun runs or display.

Style, Size and Assembly

The Beetle Junior's whimsical bodywork sits over large 52mm diameter and 31mm wide tyres that help maintain balance during dramatic moves. The assembly process requires no cement, so it is accessible to newcomers. Its dimensions of 142mm length, 125mm width and 90mm height keep it small enough for tight display spaces while still making an impact.

Power Options

Two R6/AA/UM3 alkaline batteries are required to run the model and are sold separately. Using good quality AA cells will ensure consistent performance for its wheelie and two-wheel actions.
