Tamiya Monster Beetle (2015) Body Shell

[@ronniejaye1]

This and the Blackfoot are just gorgeous. The hard bodies are so worth the extra effort!

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah I agree, sooooooooo much work but at the end you have something very special 😊😊😊

[@bestamerica]

hi R C... ' i have good R/C tamiya models... beetle / blackfoot / frog / lancia are the same ORV chassics... i did cut off ORV chassis in half then put on traxxas as tamtraxx... already in my channel video

[@KT_One]

Yes beautiful detailing BUT so much mental pain when you roll one over, especially on pavement.

[@dave691974]

I'm inclined to watch the build videos more than the running ones , I watch them all , and I run mine , but would never fault you for not tearing it up. My first run out with my monster beetle ,I broke both mirrors off.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Haha yes the mirrors and rear number plate are always the first to go David 😂👊🏻

Such an awesome kit, this is the first rc I ever owned in the 80s. Brings back many memories. Looks amazing..

I agree with Darren. This looks absolutely superb! The silver really makes it pop! As a viewer, I appreciate all the running videos and all the editing and such that goes into them. I just really feel for you having to clean the car back up when your all done after you spent so much time on assembly.

Yeah I do wonder if just doing the running videos as a KZbin thing is worth it tbh 😬🤷🏼‍♂️

The monster beetle is number 1 for me in the trio then the blackfoot followed by the mud blaster, excellent job looks so good I'm liking how you do the driver figure? my monster beetles don't have driver figures in them yet and I'm thinking that's the way to go👍

Thanks Phil, yeah as you no I’m not the best painter, but my drivers are looking better nowadays and there pretty simple to do effort wise 😊👊🏻

Nice job. I just recently built my first two Tamiya rc cars. The Subaru Impreza '99 Monte Carlo Rally car and the Toyota Yaris rally car. I was really impressed with the quality of the parts and how easily they went together. Two of the most fun models I've built.

[@edmundosanson5011]

Hi, Glenn. Would like to know, how you painted this Beetle. Do you paited it with red and then clear coated it?? Or you only put clearcoat over the red platic shell ??? Thanks, love you videos.👍👍

[@leehurst6922]

Glenn I am like you. I love taking our cars to our local BMX track but equally like running them on an old industrial park with lots of flat loose areas.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah I don’t mind a big open car park 🤩🚗💨💨👀

Looks great Glenn, the silver works really well against the red and makes it stand out

I sure do love to see them run😍. Maybe there's a runner shell and tires kicking around in your basement? Monster trucks do drive well on the soft cushiony lawn... And monster truck tracks are just a back and fourth with one jump😉. You sure did a fantastic job, it is a stunner!

Great job, Glen 💯👌Monster Beetle nr1 for me. Because the rear trailing arms and rear motor is more scale for a beetle body. A Black Foot nr1 would be the Super Black Foot with conventional rear suspension.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thanks Dave 😊 I actually did end up taking it to the little track 😬 I was really surprised just how stable it was, it didn’t roll once 😅😅😅

[@takayatakeuchi3685]

After a very bad taste in month from an M-06, I decided not to buy another Tamiya, unless they re-issue the very early glorious onroad models from the 70's through 81/82'ish, that is, of course. However, after I built an XR311 (only the chassis so far), I thought I would give it another try and ordered a Monster Beetle Black Edition from Tamico. Still waiting for it to be delivered to my house (it cleared the US custom) and I will have to complete the body of the XR311 first, but I have a feeling that I will enjoy the build of this kit. Your video gives me quite a few tips and thank you for that.

[@barrycheesemore2928]

Holy cow, that Monster Beetle looks amazing!! I'd agree with you, the silver window surrounds look fantastic, a nice contrast. Nice job mate!!

[@spencergold1279]

Great job Glenn. I finished the build (not painted it yet) on mine a few weeks ago - only run it a couple of times on grass and keep flipping it(!) - which rips the wing mirrors off.... I’ve ordered a second shell - as I want a painted and stickered-up runner (and decided against a lexan second shell for this purpose - although that may have been a mistake....) - but I know I’ll roll it and mash the body slightly - so it’ll be nice (albeit extravagant!) to have a mint shell for the shelf. I’ve got an mip ball diff which I haven’t fitted yet - only running a standard motor so far, but might swap between the torque tuned and sports which I’ve got lying around to see the differences and whether the mip diff makes a difference too. Keep up the good work - although I blame you entirely for ruining my bank balance - seeing these cars on your channel is so nostalgic and I can’t help buy the cars I used to pine for after you’ve featured them!

@TamiyaLegends, great video. Loving the Monster Beetle finished mine a few weeks back, painted it Metallic Red and Pearl Clear, looks great.

I was lucky enough to have had a Monster Beetle back in the day and it was awesome fun. However they do roll quite easily so be prepared for paint damage.

[@ministrone]

Looks great Glenn, I’ve found that tyre foams are a great mod for monster trucks to stop them rolling over. The body kit is basically the same as the re re sand scorcher. The extra kit clear light lenses can be fitted and look much better but it means cutting the centres out of the solid plastic rear lights. 👍🏻

Beautiful build. The Monster Beetle is definitely in my top 3 favorites. I restored my original in like 2013 which got a little pricey then a few years later they re-released her which I purchased to be my basher. The only thing that I didn’t like about the Re-release MB was the missing rear window which made no sense to me still to this day.
