Tamiya USA have announced the re-release the Monster Beetle 1/10th 2WD kit. The reincarnation of the 1980’s icon will feature some subtle changes to make the vehicle 2015-ready and so rear universal driveshafts with protective rubber boots and a large dust cover come included with the kit that will also sport large diameter 130mm tyres, chrome-plated wheels and an ABS bodyshell with sticker sheet. The rugged original ABS space frame chassis has been kept and it utilises double-wishbone front, and trailing arm rear suspension setups in tandem with CVA oil-filled dampers. No definite release date is available yet but according to Tamiya USA the 2015 Monster Beetle will become available “soon”.
