Tamiya 17001 Monster Beetle Junior 1/32 - Fun-Focused Mini 4WD

The Tamiya 17001 Monster Beetle Junior mixes an eye-catching, cartoon-style body with straightforward engineering from the Wild Mini 4WD range. This 1/32 scale kit is made for hobbyists who want a quick, fun build that also drives with character. A tough chassis supports two-wheel and wheelie motions, driven by a centrally mounted motor and a sidewinder gear system that powers both front and rear wheels. Oversized tyres boost both traction and the model's playful appearance for display or casual track use.

Build Details and Wheel Performance

The Beetle Junior pairs its exaggerated shell with large 52mm diameter and 31mm wide tyres to aid stability while keeping a cheeky look. No cement is required during assembly, so builders of varying skill can finish it easily. With overall dimensions of 142mm by 125mm by 90mm, it is compact yet full of personality.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/32
  • Length: 142mm
  • Width: 125mm
  • Height: 90mm
  • Motor: Included

Battery Requirements

This kit runs on two R6/AA/UM3 alkaline batteries, which are not supplied. Fit two fresh cells to enjoy the Beetle Junior's signature moves.

It will run well in casual club sessions. The chassis emphasises fun handling rather than competitive lap times, so expect quirky wheelie action rather than outright speed.
Basic modelling tools like a hobby knife, side cutters and a small screwdriver are enough. No glue is necessary for the main assembly.
Yes, the kit includes a motor so you can get the model running once you add two R6/AA/UM3 alkaline batteries.
