Tamiya 47419-60A Monster Beetle Black Edition Retro Kit  [47419-60A]

Black Edition Beetle With Vintage Appeal

The Tamiya 47419-60A Monster Beetle Black Edition updates a classic silhouette with a deep black finish and period-correct touches. This 1/10 assembly kit is tailored for enthusiasts who enjoy restoring old-school looks with practical upgrades.

Construction and Visuals

A sturdy dark grey ABS space frame supports a polystyrene resin body shaped to a customised Beetle profile, featuring wide guards and a bank of three lights up front. Metal-plated details and a refreshed decal set give the model a convincing retro presence.

Handling, Tyres and Dampers

The model uses 130mm lug-pattern pin-spike tyres paired with gold-plated rims for good traction and impact absorption. Independent front double wishbones and rear trailing arms, along with CVA oil filled dampers, provide composed control over uneven surfaces. Rubber boots shield the universal driveshafts from grit.

Electronics Needed to Run

While a rugged 540-type brushed motor is supplied, you will need to fit a 2-channel radio system, ESC, servo, and a 7.2-7.4V battery pack plus charger to make the car operational and to tailor performance to your preferences.

This Monster Beetle Black Edition fits model builders who like period styling and want a platform that can be upgraded for more aggressive driving or display quality work.
