The Tamiya Monster Beetle 58618 revives an iconic silhouette and pairs it with a practical chassis layout. It is aimed at modellers who enjoy a hands-on build and a capable off-road toy that looks the part.
The moulded polystyrene body recreates the Volkswagen Beetle profile and accepts paints and decals easily. The period driver figure and authentic cues make it a fun restoration-style project for collectors and active drivers alike.
The car rides on a space frame with independent suspension at each corner to smooth out rough surfaces. CVA oil dampers and a sturdy resin bumper improve impact resistance for trail use.
Powered by a conventional 540 motor with ESC, the Monster Beetle provides predictable performance. Large 130mm diameter by 58mm wide pin spike tyres offer good bite on dirt, while the sealed differential gearbox limits contamination.
The Tamiya Monster Beetle 58618 is a sensible choice for anyone after a classic-looking kit with straightforward mechanics and reliable off-road behaviour.
