30614B Beetle
2014
The Second ultimate revival! Get
ready for the resurgence of Kyosho¡¯s famous Beetle! In the spirit of the
original but with upgrades throughout!
The legendary Kyosho Beetle is credited
with taking the racing buggy category into the realm of pure motorsports. Even
after 30 years since it was first released in 1983, the indelible mark of the
Beetle still exists with its many fans around the world. Kyosho is proud to
renew this machine to all its former glory! While maintaining the wild and free
spirit of the original baja bug style body and chassis layout, the 2014 version
features the latest in performance technology and sacrifices nothing in speed
and endurance on modern buggy racing tracks. Externally it may look like the
original Beetle with its semi-trailing suspension arms, but the advanced 6061T6
forged aluminum material delivers futuristic levels of strength, rigidity and
durability. Following the original design, the Beetle 2014 features a new
two-piece die-cast aluminum gearbox with differential gears. In addition, the
included slipper clutch protects the transmission as well as delivers efficient
traction that takes the Beetle¡¯s control feel and durability to a new higher
level. Precision 48 pitch gears reduce traction pulsation for direct driving
control characteristics while the flat under surface of the countersunk chassis
has no protruding screw heads for minimal contact resistance and scraping,
resulting in higher durability. Stainless shafts combine with aluminum shock
bodies on the oil shocks for smooth stroke from top to bottom and running
performance worthy of a true racing buggy. Like the original Beetle, the 2014
version is packaged as an unassembled kit, but nearly all tapping screws and
nuts have been replaced with the improved lightweight and security of hex
screws. From expert racers who knew the magic of the original Beetle to
modern-day racers, discover for yourself why the Beetle 2014 commands such
respect!
