Tamiya 47419 Monster Beetle Black Edition 1/10 2WD Collector Buggy  [47419]

Refreshed Classic in Matte Black

The Tamiya 47419 Monster Beetle Black Edition blends vintage appeal with updated engineering in a 1/10 scale 2WD kit. The all-black body and matching chassis give this model a bold, unified look while keeping the spirit of the original Beetle design.

Bodywork and Visual Details

This variant uses a black molded polystyrene resin body with pronounced fenders, a row of three spotlights up front, and a shortened rear section for improved character. Metal-plated pieces for the lights and grab handles enhance realism, while refreshed sticker artwork adds a modern touch to the classic graphics.

Suspension and Traction Setup

The model rides on 130mm diameter by 58mm wide lug pattern pin-spike tyres mounted on gold plated wheels for reliable grip across loose surfaces. The front double wishbone and rear trailing arm suspension work with CVA oil filled dampers to deliver predictable, controlled wheel movement.

Drivetrain and Electronics Checklist

Power is supplied via a gear-driven 2WD layout using a standard 540-type brushed motor. Universal driveshafts fitted with rubber boots protect moving parts. Required items include a 2-channel radio, ESC, steering servo, and a 7.2-7.4V battery pack plus compatible charger to complete the setup.

The Tamiya 47419 Monster Beetle Black Edition is a solid pick for builders who like classic styling with reliable, serviceable mechanics. Its durable construction and adjustable setup make it suitable for newcomers and experienced hobbyists alike.
