Another very scale model from Roc Hobby! The suspension looks exactly like you would find on a VW Bug! I just wish they would do these models in 1/10.

The decklid hitting the back bumper is an original feature that many bugs actually do that. Incredible car my friend. Great detailed video. That rc car ain't cheap. About 250$ on Amazon. Nice addition to the enthusiast.... 👍

Great video, you live in a great area, nice! I don’t understand why this company that is building these scale replica r/c vehicles doesn’t include a driver figure. Tamiya does it correctly , I would like to see replica rc companies follow Tamiya on this.

Looks nice, but would be perfect in 1/16 scale to match the tanks. Btw that blackout light on left side is called Notek. ;)
@wamplertube2 жыл бұрын
Did you try turning the handle on the rear deck lid? I believe that would clear the bumper if it turns. Also could you imagine how cool a four-wheel-drive beetle would be in real life?

The handle didn’t budge and I didn’t want to force it.

Many a decklid Ive ever opened on early Bugs got caught an the rear bumper because the bumper always got bumped or pushed in slightly.
@fucheduck2 жыл бұрын
does the fan actually cool the real motor or is it just for effect for simulation? I would think the drive motor being hidden in the fake tranny would overheat it quickly.

Pretty cool! A metal body would help with how the suspension works but that's way too expensive. There's a reason why hobby grade RC doesn't do metal bodies

Nice review. Nice details. Another very niche model from Rochobby. Not sure why they pick 1/12 though....isn't rc military scale usually 1/16? Not into it myself but would be nice to match tamiya tanks scale. Personally would love to have in 1/10
