R/C Bug On Another Level! ROCHobby The Peoples Car

[@heffe17]

Looks great. Could be something to cruise around while walking some classic car shows.

[@lanceuppercut6168]

Thanks for the review! I'm getting this for the details alone. Gonna gift it to my brother. He's a VW enthusiast and had his 1960 bug stolen a long time ago. While not the same year I think he would enjoy this. Knowing him he's gonna deck it out to look like his :D

[@juliusjomuad3467]

My mind is blown with that fully functional door handle

[@randall1959]

Got one for car shows.

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Absolutely gorgeous!👌🥰👍

[@islandrc-duke1972]

Cool rc and great overview

[@jeremymiller2340]

What a beauty that is .. nice stuff video (As always)!!!!

[@spoiler42ify]

Nice review as usual thanks. I really like this version but the way the car sits reaaaally bothers me. It was fine with the military version but ive never seen a civilian version this jacked up. Looks weird. Is there an easy way to lower the suspension? I see shocks/springs in front but how to adjust the rear torsion bar system?

[@tonyromano6220]

I see your point. I suspect springs or shocks pretty much only easy mod.

[@Krashcan]

i had a 73 beetle, broke down every day, had to push it down the road to jump start everyday on way to work, ah the good ol days :)

[@mpazs]

Great looking model! But some many nice details and they forgot the side mirror(s)?

[@alvarodiaz9442]

Hi, this is super cool. I'm looking for one in 1/14 scale but I want to know what the length, width and height measurements are.

[@lbsvw2526]

This model in military "Kommandeurwagen" version Is amazing, but in this civilian all-wheel-drive type is so unreal...

[@cenreaper9127]

Can you please do a full teardown of that one?

[@DoubleADay]

I foresee a bunch of people doing custom paint jobs on these

[@rcdriver]

Herbie replicas should be easier with this one lol

[@michaelreames2983]

What's the body made of?

[@robertbittles6944]

A fairly durable plastic.

[@miftarc]

special classic car🥰🥰🥰

[@jasoncurrie475]

Hey FMS will you guys please make a version of the karmann Ghia as well as the version of the samba type 2 bus. Of you do sign me up to be the first buyer. Got the civilian version of the beetle and I'm loving it. I know if you make the two versions I just suggested those will sell every bit as well as these are maybe even better.

[@robertbittles6944]

Victor Ma is hoping to produce other body styles and a bus prototype is in the works. Possibly a Porsche Berlin to Rome racer as well. The 1/12 Kommandeurwagen, Kubelwagen and Peoples car will have to sell 10,000 units for a profit before other models could possibly be seen. As of now there is not enough profit as they're being sold rather inexpensively compared to all the detail and work that goes into them, but the aim is to keep them affordable for adults and kids alike.

[@carloshnunez]

It is a great RC model 🔵🔵🔵👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂🔵🔵🔵

[@patrickh4540]

Wouldn't it be awesome if they would make an equally gordious detailed Citroën 2CV?

[@hieroglyph321]

Can uou swap in a porsche engine?

[@CarsonHeli]

Nice model. But why four-wheel drive and not rear-wheel drive like the original?🤨

[@robgoffroad]

Friendly tip for your thumbnail graphic -- the first word you want is "Too" not "To." Sorry, a pet peeve of mine.

[@crazzyoboy]

It is an awesome model, but I thought RocHobby were making licensed models. Missing the the VW logo on the hub cups and here and there, makes me give it only 9 out of 10. Still amazing what they can deliver for those prices. I am going to this one also

[@rcdriver]

Licensing would have taken it over the top. But I’m sure that would have bumped up the price tag too.

[@crazzyoboy]

@@rcdriver I will repaint the shell with added clear coat after fixing the patch with putty. Paint interior details , white steering wheel ---etc. Even try to add some emblems , mainly on the frunk. It will be awesome

[@robertbittles6944]

This isn't a VW beetle... it's a KdF Wagen so wouldn't have had the VW logo. Would've had cogwheel emblem on boot lid and flying swastika or cogwheel nipple type on the hubcap which would be deemed insensitive. Some prototype KdF cars had blank hubcaps.

[@HenryChacaltana]

Yo quiero 1 igual😂

[@vintagespeedshop]

Looks like its already discontinued. What a shame

[@tonyromano6220]

Not a Tamiya? Just wrong.

[@idrivehoopties]

it’s cool, but the price is stupid. If this was a budget model, it would be sweet. For 190$ 🥱

[@robertbittles6944]

It's a fair price considering the high level of detail, faithful working suspension, transmission, portal axles, gear changes, 2wd and 4wd mode, working lights, etc. More reasonably priced than a lot of scalers which need a ton of mods to reach this level. These are short on performance in comparison, but for good reason. These are to blur the line between scaler and shelf collectible and keep it below two hundred dollars. These have fairly realistic performance to the real car only scaled down x12. An attempt at the best of both worlds. Also some upgrades are available if you reach out to Victor Ma himself.
