Version Info: This vehicle is delivered as “RTR” but requires the additional purchase of 4 (four) AAA alkaline batteries for the transmitter.
Motion RC is pleased to offer to the discerning scaler the new FMS Beetle "The People's Car" 1/12 Scale RTR Mini Crawler for the ultimate in mini scale realism for scale military or gentle off-road applications. The original “Beetle” was designed to be a civilian version of the military Type82E Kommandeurwagen, and features a realistic hard body that features operating LED lights, functional doors with door handles, removable top for back seat access, functional spare tire in a front stowage compartment and much, much more. The Beetle is most certainly a true scale visual and operational experience.
The Beetle uses a tiny motor contained within the realistic detailed engine compartment to operate engine belts, fan, and pulleys for incredible realism. A two speed transmission, operated from the transmitter allows for 2WD or4WD operation, while the servo-operated, synchronized steering wheel mimics the direction and movement of the front tires, resulting in a uniquely satisfying scale platform.
