Very impressive! FMS/RocHobby just keeps pushing the bar on these scale RC's.

[@glennjthompson332]

😃It's Herbie the Love Bug!😆👍

[@stewartbackhouse426]

The suspension movement is very scale this is how my 67 van moves when you put your foot down to go forward as a result of having reduction boxes as vw calls them, or portal axles, not usually on early Beetles

[@Mike_and_Life]

I love that it has 2wd and 4wd. 2wd for scale and 4wd for usability. Great video sir!

[@masjuggalo]

Anybody who's driven a Volkswagen realizes that that little car has got some pretty impressive legroom. My old boss has a 67 beetle that's all hot rodded out and makes like 200 horsepower. Does wheelies can't help it feel this with a 4S brushless system would be a good scale version of that

[@josephdavis2695]

FMS has the absolute best packaging too. Obviously the little foam cases, but the artwork on the Max Smasher box was top notch, vintage goodness. They are on fire.

[@klippschliefer4968]

its just a waste of material! No one needs these boxes! 90% will throw them awas, 9% keep them but dont use them, and only 1% of some overcarefull people actually take their car with them in the box!

[@jamtart606]

I see these models being more aimed at collectors and most of the time they don't throw the packaging away as it keeps it's value better, but hey that's just me and I doubt your percentages are actually factual, seems more subjective.

[@cogboy302]

The KdF wagen - Kraft durch Freude (Strength through Joy). 'Beetle' sounds a bit more cuddly. I have a mate from school days who bought a knackered Beetle about 1990, when we were 17, which he paid the princely sum of £75 for, and he still owns it to this day, as in Jan 2023. It had a full rebuild back then, as it spent years sat in a quarry being used as a slide by the local kids, who climbed up onto the roof and slid down the back of it, so the roof was caved in, and during it's extraction from the quarry, it rolled into the back of the lorry towing it out which stoved in the bonnet, front panel and both front wings. It survived all that and looks cherry today.

[@Del350K4]

What an immensely desirable product! I may be biased because I love scale classic cars and 1:12 is my favourite scale, but this just oozes quality and good design - and once it's moving, the weird rear suspension movements aren't at all noticeable.

[@kashmurray1199]

Really cool. 🎥

[@michaeldorich4485]

Scalers will love this. It's a great looking car.

[@jaybomb5022]

FMS has really been setting the standard lately!

[@Pablo668]

Nice car, I like it. I had a 68 beetle years ago, I loved that thing. Funnily enough VW Beetles were quite capable off roaders (for medium type of stuff) in their standard trim. They were often raced in round Australia Rallys. They were even better when modified for that kind of thing.

[@dannysarco6743]

Cool car! My dad owned a 69' Beetle for the longest time. I SO wish my mom didn't make him sell it!

[@rcmakingtracks18]

Nice video Phil.

[@qrisemrc]

This is a great scale RC. It seems to be implemented well, similar to the real car. Of course, the movement may not be as real as other scale RCs, but it is well made very similar to the real car. This is a great video.👍👍👍

[@kevingalea92]

The music was like being on a Sunday drive cute little car

[@josephdavis2695]

That goobleblargon is especially clean.

[@dexterbeattie7884]

awesome!!!

[@kurthitt2891]

the peoples car was very good in snow in real life because of the engine over the rear wheels since it was rwd you should see if its any good when you get some snow. great video

[@Hoosierdaddyjones812]

I remember my mom having a bug when I was about 8-10 yrs old, hated that car. In the winter had no heat and was an icebox to ride in. No power steering or power brakes also.

[@tobydyes]

I think it's the portals making the rear end jump up

[@The_ace_1]

Great video

[@BadBoyV1]

It's kinda ironic that the RAF should do a fly by when the Hitler car is out driving on British soil lol Jokes aside great amount of detail in that little package.

[@henrywood5462]

I’ve been waiting for this car to drop! 😁 I want to buy one for my Cen F450 to tow!

[@Xofroggy]

I need it just because its an old beetle, paint it white. Add a few stickers and bam a love bug is born

[@josebodon2995]

I think THE ROCK will like that car.

[@chevyb0195]

The bug reminds me of Herbie. A brushless would be good in that bug.

[@TheRCScotsman]

Das ist gut, ja! Lovely wee thing.

[@paulmcnamara2908]

That little thing is beautiful! Top review as always buddy! Im sure Sarah Jane will love driving it especially as she's kept her lower legs! Ha! Ha! 😁👌

[@leemollison7508]

Holy crap, that is so good I half expected ze Fuhrer to make an appearance! Oh wait, he's busy in Davos........

[@Cormano980]

Our neighbors had one , me and my buddies got sauced one night and grabbed it and moved it a couple of streets away, next morning the police was looking around for it 🤣🤣🤣

[@markpace5809]

Sunroof, nice. 👍

[@dskofich]

NICE REVIEW

[@theelmgren]

Nice. they also have a TOYOTA FJ45 Pickup that I have been eyeing. I wish they started to sell the larger scales here in US as they do in UK. Would love to pick up a FTX Outback Tracker.

[@Rcdude2007]

My brother is going to flip out!!!!!!

[@heavymetalrc7520]

FMS/Roc Hobby is king of scale.

[@HenryCalderonJr]

I love all these

[@WCPRCModelsCraft]

A very smart model for sure

[@dollawalrc]

Love it!

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful little car, Phil! It really looks amazing! 😃 Great ride and review! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@HuckThis1971]

Love it! My Mom had a black late 50's beetle. Then a red TR4 with a black top.

[@tobydyes]

The old Volkswagen beetles can float in the water the ones today I don't think so

[@tobydyes]

The packaging is just as nice as the vehicle

[@shawnthomas444]

Adding this one to my list! great video!

[@modelnutty6503]

wish they went *really* scale built more like a Tamiya Sand Scorcher, rear motor plugging into a trans-axle like a boxer engine does. VW's always did surprisingly well off road if you know how to drive them, a model would too, AWD is such a blasphemy to old VW's lol. so many details on that are SO NICE, no complaints about its looks!

[@thedinkmaster4545]

awesome video tomley!

[@Chio_OB]

FMS is on point, their panes are epic too!

[@media3338]

They do look awesome in motion.

[@bmoresbeast]

Nice ...Just 👍

[@eriksimca9409]

damn.... wish i had the money, ive always been having an eye on them!

[@fmsmodelRC]

LOL, nice driving.

[@Fixingeverthingwithaengine567]

The VW also had a trailer option. Fifth wheel trailer on the top.

[@matthopkins6286]

So cool! I wish they were 1/10 scale

[@whirlybirdrc]

The perfect car to convert into a scaler baja buggy!

[@JP-qq2kn]

Very nice!! Great video as always!

[@MauzyrockRC]

What a fantastic looking / running model!

[@bear1245]

I do like a 1/12!

[@halmakenreuther8843]

The only things which missing now are the schwimmwagen and the kettenkrad 😂

[@wraptgrafix6338]

Im a few minute’s into watching and already want to order one and convert to replicate my baja bug back when i had more hair and what is left wasn’t grey hahaha. And to comment before i watch to the end, from what you have seen is it “modifiable”

[@mikebird8290]

OH YEAH 🇬🇧✌🏼 Thanks for posting SIR. FMS are KILLING it with there detailed vehicles. Phi have you seen the new scx 24 rear stear? 🇬🇧✌🏼👍🏼

[@andyroo3022]

Very nice. Funny I leave the RC hobby alone for a while and BANG new products all the time. This Beetle is very nice, I can see this getting modified with a fast setup etc etc.

[@theRCcarshow]

😍😍😍

[@ahhobby2527]

First time commenting on your channel, such a cool little rc that’s worth sitting on a desk as a display car. Cheeky retro filter at the end, Tomley. I chuckled LOL.

[@DustyFingersRC]

Wow. Looks great.

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Absolutely gorgeous!👌🥰👍

[@nickrudd2568]

I think that would become a crazy crawler if i had it. Neat little thing.

[@tobydyes]

It's funny because Volkswagens bugs never came in 4-wheel drive

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

Volkswagen means “ der peoples kar” in German . Name is fitting.. I want one 😊

[@liamRC5487]

Another successful scale car

[@rc-dom-uk]

Nice 👍

[@davidhiscock1969]

Definitely a sweet detained lil thing. For me I would like it in 10th scale , just that little bit bigger

[@markgower7163]

An uncle of mine had one -- think it must have been a split rear window. It had no fuel gauge; when it started to run out, you pulled over a small lever under the dash somewhere to open a small reserve tank to get enough to find the nearest filling station. I trust this is reproduced in this one, it's incredibly accurate. (!)

[@kevingilroy]

My father owned a VW dealer ship and shops. In the 60's and 70's. It would take to long to explain why some possibly had 4 wheel drive. But basically military parts did end up on some "people's cars"

[@theVillager-og5fo]

Υou should put a camera also inside the car.It would be great material 👌

[@flyinvdub]

now FMS just needs to come out with the Cal look People's Car

[@phw340]

Very cool, thanks for the review! Would love to see a Herbie car made from this!

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

Real beetles suspension did tge same thing, which is why they came out with tge super beetle with McPherson struts , which eliminated that

[@SharkysGarageRCandMore]

Great Scale piece of kit, now you have 2, will you mod this one, into Team TRC colours and "Supe" it up ??

[@tobydyes]

I got my 40th birthday coming up 25th January trying to decide on a birthday to myself

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

I absolutely ❤️ this bug! See what I did there?😂🤪 ❤️bug…

[@mistakes4630]

love vids keep it up!!

[@roberthartmann782]

Get another one and make a beach 🏖 buggy with surf 🏄 board on top.. Baja style 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@tobydyes]

$190 that's not bad

[@FedBiker]

Imagine installing a beetle sound kit in there. Would that be possible?

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

Beetles didn’t have portals but the busses did

[@tomkatt6376]

You need to take out the passenger seat and wrap up a barbie in carpet and turn Austin Powers into Ted Bundy😂😂😂

[@gargermaxpower2408]

Nice! Whats the runtime?

[@thqp]

Love it, but the FMS site doesn't have it available anymore :((((

[@julianorozco761]

Hoña Amigo como estas , estas replicas son muy detalladas , fms se supera dia a dia construyendo estos autos el jimmy es mi preferido ,lastima que esta marca no la venden aca en Panama centro america, saludos y exitos siempre . Pd: cuando ya no quieres el Jimmy puedes donarmelo para hacer un video aca en el tropico Panameño .feliz dia a todos bemdiciones

[@tobydyes]

Make the doors black make the hood black make the trunk black

[@alexanderson5749]

Now we just need to make one of those go as fast as the real thing so that car about 50-60

[@Adam-vi1ep]

Now they need to make a VW van

[@mikerr8462]

Would have been nice if they had put a little bit more effort in it to make it more different to the first version. Imagine that with a custom Beetle design, two color paintjob, Fuchs wheels and some tuning parts.

[@karter5351]

There are even buttons on the seat of the chair for the driver figure to pull off with the cheeks of their arse just before a crash

[@roberthartmann782]

Wish a company made a square back and a fast back vw.. and wish a company made a solid axle gasser dragster car... .. but a bigger scale like 1/10 scale and 1/8 scale car like the ones I mentioned and your cars.. with these details

[@heclanet]

Please put a doll with a "nice" mustache on the war VW

[@BlackSeaRC]

Undoubtedly a nicely designed and put together RC model with amazing levels of detail and scale realism...BUT...unfortunately the subject matter, an old VW Beetle, just doesn't appeal to me in the slightest which is a real shame. Hopefully there will be something with the same concept but a more exciting vehicle choice in the future.

[@RCOverKill]

It looks good, is it possible that oil shocks for something that light doesn't work well for the scale driving look?

[@Luke-en2tk]

I kind of agree, at those speeds and what it's made for the friction dampers seem to give a more realistic ride

[@rzrbladesrc1375]

Notek light on the commander

[@LukazRC]

If only they made these in 1/10 Id add them to my collection even tho there small I still like them an love seeing them at my local hobby shops
