Kyosho Beetle

That is what the box says: Believe it or not, the total weight is less than 1,680 grams! The driving power is excellent with oil dampers equipped! This is an electric powered buggy-our proud solution to the problem of overweight which has been an inherent trouble with the model buggies. We have finally successed in making it less than 1,680 grams when it is wholly equipped. For up grading running capability along an undulating course, new types of tires and wheels made of incredibly light materials are adopted to lessen the weight around the chassis particularly below the springs. Features are: simple and light front suspension systems, the mabuchi RS-540 motor mounted crosswise drives the car in the efficient 'SIDEWINDER' method. Well balanced oil dampers with long suspension stroke and lightweight chassis insure the four wheels gripping the ground firmly. 'The BEETLE' is a racing buggy with excellent running characteristics in jump, cornering and straight going.
