Just When You Thought They Couldn't Do Any Better! NEW RocHobby Kommandeurwagen

This is the NEW 1/12 Scale Type 82E Kommandeurwagen from RocHobby. The Scale Detail is insane! It has a 2 Speed Gearbox, selectable 2wd/4wd and so much detail! Correct spelling is Kommandeurswagen, the original was actually 4wd... nice!

Wow! I'm blown away, being a VW guy. That thing actually has legit twin-beam torsion axle in front and IRS out back, just like a full-scale Beetle. (Although IRS wasn't 'till 1967, it's a better choice than swing-axle)

[@cerberusscalenrccars8889]

FMS / ROC Hobby is really stepping up their game, now we just need a fully amphibious schwimmwagen to become a full circle

[@TomleyRC]

They are… and I’m sure they have plenty more to come!

[@bakedbeings]

Haha shvimvargen is goot!

[@roblowrie1969]

The attention to detail is incredible on these cars!! And Sarah-Jane Smith!! Had a massive crush on her when she was the Doctors assistant, back in the day!! 🤗👍🏻

[@TomleyRC]

Haha…

[@semperatis]

The figure is of Sarah-Jane Smith from the Dr Who range Phil. That VW is really good looking and seems to perform pretty well too.

[@TomleyRC]

Official release is tomorrow (14th). Links should work by then). I noticed a few early released videos so thought I better jump on the bandwagon this time around! (I got left behind on the last one lol)

[@anthonytuccillo6274]

I'm getting this so I can turn it into bumblebee 😎

[@Acheronus80]

You and Gavin almost simultaneously...

[@RCKickschannel]

Yes I noticed this went early so I jumped on it as mine was scheduled for tomorrow.

[@TomleyRC]

@@RCKickschannel Yeah, I noticed earlier today that FMS put a little 'sneak peak' on their FB Page, then a Chinese channel put the official video out... and then The RC Kiwis released theirs, so i thought I better join the Early Squad! I was last on the Kubelwagen I think... by about 24hrs haha

[@calebr4191]

You're such a shill for ROC HOBBY! Don't worry, so am I!

[@astridsactionrc545]

This is definitely a must have for me! And your figure is Sara Jane Smith.

[@TheLateBrakeShow]

Bloody love this. An early Beetle is the holy grail, but a Kommandeurwagen is proper WWII overlanding.

[@darkcrawleruk]

Just need a 1/6 version now!!

[@TomleyRC]

Yes!

[@michaeldorich4485]

You did a thorough review as usual. The scale detail is excellent.

[@RCWithAaron]

The Details on this are fantastic, down to the reduction boxes. Super cool !

Nice looking beetle. Looked even better out of the box. 👍🏼

[@kopigangrc]

OMG! I just saw official FMS FB page going to release this and you've got it? Man!!! That's awesome 🤩

[@maxpaul11]

Awesome! Thank you for sharing! Model looks amazing!

[@scottwhyte2772]

It's Sarah from Dr Who. Great rc model. Brilliant detail. Oh and they did come out in 4x4 .

[@NoLimitRC87]

I seen this on olive rc's channel roc hobby really are second to none when it comes down to the little details, hope you and Susan enjoy the rest of your night 😉

[@calebr4191]

FMS/Rochobby have some of the best quality scale options I've seen! I have the grey Land Cruiser, and although I stripped out a one of the transmission gears (it isn't a manufacturer defect, it was completely my fault), it's incredibly capable and super well made!

[@disciplinerc]

Cool ride! Love the nose dive!!

[@markgower7163]

Incredible detail. The blackout light was a type made by Notek.

[@yaneura390]

It's like a surprising video crawler!

[@maxpaul11]

love it! The details are very good!

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

Absolutely Brilliant model Phil! Gotta say, I don’t see people leaving this one alone. It’s definitely got a “mod bod”. The 4wd just makes it even more bad ass! Detail is top notch! I know I’ll be late to this party though at almost $270 beans! Great review Mr Phil!☕️☕️Cheers brother!

[@robbyroyalinstagramsoundcl160]

Looks good Tomley!

Cheers dude

[@brsrc759]

That is absolutely mind blowing! I have no other words

[@afrobizkit]

I just told a friend I didn't have any projects that I was working on, then this comes along! Gotta do a Herbie version!

😎👌

[@danielemulazzi1615]

Woww...non ci posso credere ...finalmente il modello giusto che aspettavo da tempo ...grazie Tomley di averlo presentato ... bellissimo è molto realistico ... ciao dall'Italia

[@fatsubsonic]

Very nice model, nice to see FMS putting out great models! however..... I must point out some mis-information.... The Type-82e is called a "Staff Car" or "Geländekäfer" and it was built on the high clearance Type-82 Kübelwagen Chassis which is 2WD with a self locking diff. The higher specification "Kommandeurswagen" is Type-87 which uses the front axle of the Type-166 Schwimmwagen which is 4WD with self locking ZF diffs front and rear. But It also has 5cm wider fenders, wider tyres , cow hide interior and a sunroof. The Kommandeurswagen were either 2 or 3 seat versions (not more) so if a secretary sat in the rear (left), in an emergency could step up (right) onto a solid panel to then climb out of the sun-roof. No Type-82e had a sunroof because that was the 2WD version of the Kommandeurswagen called the Type-92. On that note the Type-92e "Holzbrenner" was the wood fueled version with overland roof rack. Now lets all hope that FMS bring out more great models such as a fully functioning amphibious Type-166 :-)

[@PJMCollectibles]

excellent details. i am really amazed by this. let me share this to our vw group. need to save up for this. i know this wouldn’t be cheap. if only this came out with “wpl-like” prices then we wouldn’t hesitate hoarding this and do various mods to the body. thanks phil 👍🏻😀🍻

[@stuartbarham3958]

That vw looks incredible 😎🙌🏼🙌🏼, thank you for the video 🙌🏼, keep up the great content 😎👌🏼

[@RCBirds]

This Model is really scale. Even the arrangement of the additional shiftable front wheel drive. Okay the original speed decresed from 75 down to 10 km/h. So you better not get under fire while climbing a hill😁. One thing they missed is an s. In correct german it's named Kommandeurswagen.😉 Meaning the car of a commander. Without the s it means that the car is the commander. Might be a theme for a transformer film🤔. Hope they'll do a civil after-war version sometime in the nearer future, we'll probably see many customized Herbies. Thanks for your presentation Tomley👍

[@masjuggalo]

Hopefully not a super beetle

[@RCBirds]

@@masjuggalo There's only one super beetle: Dudu 😉

[@bugjamdrm6747]

In fact the other mistake besides the missing s is that the Kommandeurswagen is the type 87. The 82e was indeed 2WD only. But if that's all they did wrong on this beautiful model, they did a darn good job. Mine is hopefully arriving in the next days. :-)

[@68burnout]

Original one is actually 4wd. Looks awesome. 👍

[@Acheronus80]

That figure is Sarah-Jane, aka the late Elizabeth Sladen.

[@onemansvideos2134]

They did a good job building this a real hobbyist builder

[@TomleyRC]

I agree

[@MCsCreations]

What a sweet little car, Tomley! Really nice! 😃 Great review as always!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@danne77sthlm]

It´s really hard to not love the looks of that one, now we just neeed one in the original red civil color or blue one :D

I have a spare body that I will be doing a few mods to 🤟

Yes, they are killing it 👌

[@grrfy]

Ok I will do the rivet thing , If it's a T82E it's a Geländekäfer and 2wd ,if it's a T87 Kommandeurswagen it was 4wd,they came with the slide canvass roof and widened arches to fit those off road tyres.

Love it love it! Oopsssss just read its out tommorrow. Lol had to remove my complaint. Anyhow... Love your channel! Keep up the great work. I hope its a reasonablprice. My even be close to scale with my HG 8X8 Hemet. Have a pint fo me and a tea at tea time. Find fig formosa loose leaf tea. Its the best with just a bit o sugar!

[@phw340]

Awesome video thanks! The detail is so cool on this car! I can imagine some of these being turned into Herbie cars! I was wondering if you would be replacing the motor with something more powerful? Would you be doing a video to show what the drivetrain looks like? It comes with a 130 motor. Wonder how hard it would be to put a 180 motor or if WPL parts can be used to upgrade this car? Thanks!

Oh man, this is good stuff. Like that

I'm pretty sure Volkswagen did make a 4WD version of the Beetle during WII for a staff car.

[@SharkysGarageRCandMore]

I know a man who would love this, hey Keldon Raven! In 2wd and high gear on a flat smooth surface does it have enough punch to drift ??? Because that would be awesome ! Speed run on hi and low, 2wd and 4wd .... Can't wait to see more of this! If you do ever want to move it on, please put me on the list !

[@TomleyRC]

Not enough to drift, I’ve got a little plan for this one to make it more capable off road 👌

[@SharkysGarageRCandMore]

Looking forward to seeing that.

[@steifen404]

Next get the Universal Motorgerät "Unimog" ;-)

[@blueterror2276]

I gotta get one of those

[@andyknuckles2903]

Hot rodding this would be fun

[@Nickwillfixit]

The ground clearance is correct also not fourwheel drive, but the gearing was changed to get a lower speed in first for mud and snow the sand colour was never used. The 87 Kublewagen underpinnings was used minus front wheel drive.

[@badlanz8642]

Type 87 was 4wd

[@Hjerte_Verke]

Check your facts man, this is indeed based on a 4x4 Beetle and shared the same platform as the Type 166 Schwimmwagen. This is a legit replica of an actual vehicle.

[@joshuaboiii]

Actually the beetle itself wasnt awd, yet the kommandeurwagen was. this is what i found: What is a Kommandeurswagen? It was produced from 1941 to 1944 by the Volkswagen plant, primarily for high officers of the Wehrmacht (German armed forces). The Wehrmacht classified the Kommandeurswagen as leichter geländegängiger PKW, 4-sitziger, 4-radgetriebener Geländewagen Typ 87. ("light offroad passenger car, four seat, four-wheel drive offroad vehicle Type 87"). Credit: Yahoo! Ps: They did use the sand color, you can find pictures of it. (ik something about beetles aka "bugs" since we own few of them)

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

The real one was 4wheel drive! So that model is designed after the real one! With realistic features just like the real original! I think is very cool!

[@PurpleTT99]

That's Sarah Jane Smith played by Elisabeth Sladen. Early 70's Dr Who. I was 10 and starting to get funny feelings when she was on...

[@ScottH9]

Great review. I watched this prior to buying mine. This car looks fantastic in person, exactly as I expected. Only one problem ... I can't get mine to go in reverse. :( Hopefully it isn't something simple that I'm doing wrong but don't you just push the throttle in the opposite direction? I did try moving the #1 dip switch back and forth to try to go between the FWD/REV/BRK mode and the FWD/REV mode. Still no luck. Can't find anything in a search online.
