My son & his remote controlled Bug

My son turned 11 today. He loves this site. He spends
alot of time on here looking at all the VW's & asked
if I can put up a picture of him & his remote control
Beetle he got for his birthday today. His world
revolves around Bug's & Kombi's so he was rapt to get
his present today!He also got a Kombi money box,
1 Kombi T-shirt & 1 Beetle T-shirt.

thats awesome! where did you get the remote control bug from?

Hobby Pit Stop in Brisbane,
It cost us $220. It goes fast!!!

A nice little (Tamiya?) kit.
Tamiya stuff lasts forever and can handle a good floggin!
Have fun🙂

Gr8 pic!

Saw those models on ebay.

Did you put it together?

Was it 220 including remote?

No, It came all together thankfully lol

Yep the $220 included the remote also
came with a battery & charger we just brought
a spare battery. It was $220 marked down
from $299 but as hubby said no matter the
price we would have ended up paying it
for him. He has just polished his bug as he
says it got very dirty yesterday lol...A very
avid bug lover in the making he is.

Tell him we need more pics! BTW Happy birthday to him + it's my eldest sons birthday to day, he's 21 but he's not into dubs😠

He said Thanks!!

Happy 21st to your son!! lol My 2 oldest
20 & 15 arn't VW Fans but there is time
to convert them. My 2 youngest 11 & 5
both love VW's my 5yo daughter wants a
pink bug when she is older she says & my
11yo has always been a VW nut since he
was a toddler. I will work on getting more pics lol

Very cool they are too.
I bought myself & my father one each a few years ago now when Tamiya re released them.
My father hand made a 1/10 scale caravan, copied from his real 1/1 caravan for the beetle to tow along.
Lots of fun even for grownups.

They are so cool!!!!

My son now wants a caravan 😂

I would have brought
2 of them for my daughters upcoming
birthday but alas that was the last one.

Do they come in Kombi's also?

No, but a guy here on the Central Coast makes Kombi bodies for them
