Kyosho Mini-Z Volkswagen 1300 Beetle 1966 Bahama Blue RWD MR-04 Readyset 32374BBL

The Kyosho Mini-Z Volkswagen 1300 Beetle 1966 Model combines one of the world's most recognisable classic cars with the latest MR-04 rear-wheel-drive Mini-Z platform. Finished in period-inspired Bahama Blue, this Readyset delivers detailed display-quality styling together with responsive indoor RC performance. The factory-finished body recreates the distinctive rounded shape of the 1966 Volkswagen 1300 Beetle, a milestone model that introduced an enlarged 1.3-litre engine to the legendary Volkswagen design. The detailed body arrives painted with markings applied, making it ready for display or driving straight from the box once batteries are installed. Underneath is Kyosho's fourth-generation MR-04 chassis in MR-04N-MM2 configuration. Compared with the previous MR-03 platform, the MR-04 places the batteries lower in the chassis and incorporates revised front steering and suspension geometry for improved stability and more linear steering response. A 130-class brushed motor, gear differential and full ball bearings are standard equipment.
