    Looking good, Steve! I think the Sport Tuned is an ideal motor for the Monster Beetle. Just enough to make it more fun but not too much as to cause problems. She took a few tumbles out there, but that's a Monster Beetle for ya! :O)

    I've just renovated my vintage MB and changed the motor for a Sports tuned. Looking forward for the test drive for sure. You mentioned shims for the gearbox. Is it in between the gear and the plastic plate holding the bearing? Do you have a parts-no? The dream is a Mip ofc, but they are "a bit" expensive. Especially with freight to Sweden. 7:43 7:43

    hi, friend! I would like to buy the tamiya monster beetle, my question is (if I put a 12-turn brushed motor on it) and I take it to 22.0 mph, do you think I will break the transmission gears? greetings😊

    • @ShenRC
      @ShenRC  Год назад +1

      Hi the gearing on this is limited, I would suggest using the sport tuned motor like I did and shim the diff like i did also or buy the Mip ball diff for to make it even stronger, this going any faster than mine with the sport tuned motor will probably break a lot the body is fragile. Hope this helps.

    that’s the only downside to tamiya hard body’s they soon get scratched up i’ve now got a grass hopper blackfoot a super clodbuster and the newest one a sand scorcher all great fun but you tend to hold back more than lexan shells

    You rolled it and the driver fell out. I have had that happen so many times on this type of body. Looked so much better on the sand kick it up 🙂The extra power did seem to cause more rolls, but there is a limit to how much power these need for fun and this is about right. I have faster cars than my Tamiya's but for fun do they really need more.
