There is one classic 1980's R/C monster truck that stands out the most among the rest, its the Tamiya MONSTER BEETLE and was my childhood crush when i saw one inside the TAMIYA catalogue book which is the only media item i could able to purchase just to get myself dive into the world of R/C... of course there's no such thing as internet back then so the booklet helps me to drool all day. The MONSTER BEETLE originally was released in the year 1986 few days before Christmas and then re-release it again in 2015 with minor changes to sponsor decals due to copyright reasons however retain its Volkswagen logo on the hood. The MONSTER BEETLE was a piece of beauty with highly detailed Volkswagen beetle bodyshell, spiked moster tractor style tyre like the BLACKFOOT and eye candy shiny gold chromed wheels. It share the same based platform as the BLACKFOOT with different body shell and more radical grippy tyres. Unlike much change made to re-release version of BLACKFOOT over decades the MONSTER BEETLE still retain the same cosmetic appearance much like its original ones 3 decades ago. As i grew older and had my hands on these classic nostalgia package it really me appreciate this piece of historic momentos from the past what R/C life was about for me. Despite being classic and vintage by today standard the MONSTER BEETLE still the best looking Monster R/C car and yes its a rare yet valuable collectibles among R/C enthsiasts....yes my precious!
