Bring Scale Detail to Your 1/10 with the Tamiya 50790

The Tamiya 50790 1/10 Volkswagen New Beetle Body Set reproduces the Beetle silhouette in a light but durable polycarbonate shell. It is suitable for a range of 1/10 on-road chassis and arrives clear to let you personalise colour schemes and trim. The construction aims to offer realistic looks without adding unnecessary mass.

Features and Benefits

Authentic Design: Accurate Beetle lines give a genuine scale appearance for show or track use.
Durable Material: Manufactured from resilient polycarbonate to resist scuffs and impacts during normal running.
Compatibility: Compatible with many 1/10 on-road models, though slight cut-backs or mount moves may be required for some setups.
Customization Ready: Clear finish allows internal painting and decal application to match your preferred livery.

How should I prepare the inside of the shell for painting?

Clean the interior with mild soap and water, remove grease with isopropyl alcohol if needed, and apply light coats of polycarbonate paint to avoid runs and allow good adhesion.

Will the shell withstand regular club racing?

The polycarbonate shell tolerates regular use and minor collisions, but heavy impacts can crack or tear the plastic. Check mounts and edges after each session.

Are replacement shells or parts available if damaged?

Replacement bodyshells or mounting accessories are commonly available separately; keep a spare shell if you run often or race competitively.

Any tips for trimming wheel arches cleanly?

Score cut lines first then trim with sharp scissors or a body cutter, finishing with a file or sandpaper to remove burrs for a neat edge.
