Beetle Heritage with Modern Chassis Upgrades

Paying tribute to its 1980s roots, Kyosho brings the Beetle 30614 back with a careful mix of retro character and current engineering. The design keeps the classic ladder frame feel while using modern materials to reduce weight and boost rigidity, giving hobbyists a nostalgic look with improved on-track behavior.

Updated Ladder Frame and Durable Components

Built on the Scorpion 2014 platform, the Beetle 30614 keeps the silhouette enthusiasts expect while integrating stronger parts for everyday racing. Front and rear suspension arms are machined from 6061T6 aluminum to resist flex and wear without adding excess mass. A wider front track helps the chassis hold steady through fast corners and rough sections.

Adjustable Gearbox and Slipper Clutch Tuning

The two-piece diecast aluminum gearbox comes with integrated diff gears and a slipper clutch for surface-specific tuning. The kit includes sintered alloy and nylon gear choices, allowing a balance between efficiency and durability, with options to configure for higher speed or greater torque as needed.

Smooth Damping and High Grip Wheels

Oil-filled shocks use aluminum bodies and stainless shafts for consistent damping across the full stroke, improving stability on landings and ruts. New tread pattern high-grip tyres and light one-piece wheels enhance traction and steering response, while the integrated radio box keeps wiring neat and fits a variety of modern battery shapes.

The Kyosho Beetle 30614 pairs period styling with practical engineering, making it a solid choice for collectors who still want to push laps and racers seeking a tunable 2WD platform.

Assembly follows a straightforward kit layout and the parts are robust, so newcomers can build it with basic tools and learn setup steps without excessive frustration.
A standard 540-class motor is recommended; begin with medium gearing and the H 6.9:1 setting, then adjust pinion and slipper to fine tune acceleration and top speed.
Common upgrades include a ball differential, alternative shock springs, and different tyre compounds to match track conditions and driving style.
With 6061T6 aluminium arms, the suspension resists bending and holds geometry under hard use, though replacement arms are an easy maintenance item after heavy seasons.
