Tamiya 17001 1/32 Monster Beetle Junior - Playful Mini 4WD Build

The Tamiya 17001 Monster Beetle Junior stands out for its playful silhouette and user-friendly engineering in the Wild Mini 4WD collection. At 1/32 scale it blends a whimsical body with true driving capability, delivering an enjoyable build and running experience for modellers and collectors. The compact chassis is engineered to encourage wheelies and two-wheel driving, with a centre-mounted motor transferring drive to both axles via a sidewinder gear layout. Big tyres give it a distinctive look and add presence whether on display or out on the track.

Body, Tyres and Assembly

The Beetle Junior features an exaggerated body style combined with 52mm diameter and 31mm wide tyres that help keep it planted during spirited runs. Assembly is straightforward with no glue required, so newcomers can get started quickly. Measuring 142mm long, 125mm wide and 90mm tall, it suits small display shelves while still making a bold impression.

Power and Batteries

To run the model you will need two R6/AA/UM3 alkaline batteries, sold separately. Using fresh cells ensures responsive performance and reliable wheelie action.
