Tamiya 58672 Monster Beetle Trail 1/14 GF-01TR Scale Trail Kit  [58672]

Mini Monster Beetle Optimised for Off-Road

The Monster Beetle remains a favourite for scale RC fans who value classic styling with practical capability. The Tamiya 58672 places that character on the GF-01TR chassis, pairing a gear-driven 4WD system with portal axles to boost clearance for off-road chores.

GF-01TR: Chassis Built Around Trail Use

The GF-01TR chassis features a monocoque frame and central motor layout, with reduction gears feeding portal axles to lift the body and improve approach angles. The sealed transmission reduces the risk of grit ingress for longer running life on dusty tracks.

Styling, Wheels and Drive Ratio

This Trail edition keeps a red ABS plastic body with pronounced fenders and three forward lights, enhanced by metal-plated detail pieces. The yellow wheels and 115mm hybrid pin spike/lug tyres provide a balance of cushioning and traction on mixed terrain. The default 37.35:1 gear ratio can be swapped to 33.61:1 using an optional pinion for a livelier top-end.

Whether you want a display model that can also tackle trails or a platform to customise, this Monster Beetle Trail gives a solid base for scale and off-road tuning.
