This R/C car assembly kit is inspired by Volkswagen Beetles which take part in American off-road races. The polycarbonate body recreates a race-oriented Beetle which features bulging front and rear fenders and removed rear engine hood. Front and side light pods and brake lamps are also depicted, as are the exposed exhaust, air cleaner and pulley at the back. Figures for driver and co-driver, seats, steering wheel and shift knob all add an extra layer of realism.

Realism & Performance: the BB-02 Chassis
The rear-wheel drive BB-02 chassis has floor pan design motifs, roll cage and integrated front and rear tire housings, and utilizes a lengthwise battery pack with the motor at the rear for optimum balance. The sealed gearbox has a built-in ball differential, and drive shafts have joint boots for reliable off-road performance. 4-wheel independent suspension uses front double trailing arms or double wishbone arms, and rear trailing arms. Adaptive dampers limit oil leakage. White dish design hex hub wheels are paired with front rib pattern tires for directional stability and rear square spike tires for high grip, each with a sponge tire insert to help maintain tire shape.
