Following on from the popular BBX (BB-01), this assembly kit is inspired by the race-prepped Volkswagen Beetles seen competing in American off-road events, pairing an authentic, detail-packed body shell with a chassis engineered for serious off-road performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\r\u003cp\u003ePlease note this is an unassembled kit requiring assembly; it ships as a build-it-yourself kit and does not arrive pre-built or ready to run.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\r\u003cp\u003eThe chassis offers a choice of front suspension geometry, with double trailing arms or double wishbone arms available depending on the terrain and driving style, while rear trailing arm suspension and adaptive oil-filled dampers round out the setup. Floor pan design motifs and front and rear tyre housings help protect the model from dust and dirt during hard off-road running, and the sealed gearbox with built-in ball differential keeps the drivetrain protected. Realistic details including a window net, fire extinguisher, exhaust pipes, roll cage, and two new female driver and co-driver figures with full-face helmets bring the model to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\r\u003ch3\u003eSpecial Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\u003cul\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e1\/9 scale RC model assembly kit\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003eNewly designed 1.0mm thick polycarbonate body recreating a race-prepped Beetle with bulging front and rear fenders and removed rear engine hood\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003eRoll cage for added chassis rigidity and driver figure protection\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003eRealistic light pods and taillights, with black-moulded light cases ready for optional LED lights\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003eSeated female driver and co-driver figures with full-face helmets, dedicated arm parts, and name stickers\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003eOriginal design livery stickers included\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003eDetailed extras including window net, fire extinguisher, stick shift, steering wheel, air cleaner, pulley, muffler and exhaust pipes\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003eRear-wheel drive BB-02 chassis with floor pan design motifs and front and rear tyre housings to protect against dust\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003eLengthwise battery pack with rear-mounted motor for optimum balance\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003eSealed gearbox with built-in ball differential and joint-booted drive shafts\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e4-wheel independent suspension with a choice of front double trailing arms or double wishbone arms, plus rear trailing arms\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003eAdaptive CVA oil-filled dampers that limit oil leakage\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003eFull ball bearings included with hex screw hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003eHex hub wheels paired with front rib pattern tyres for directional stability and rear square spike tyres for high grip\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\r\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\u003cul\u003e\r\u003cli\u003eUnassembled 1\/9 scale VW Dune Beetle Cross (BB-02) kit components\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003ePolycarbonate body shell\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003eSeated female driver and co-driver figures\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003eOriginal design livery and body stickers\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003eInstruction manual\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\r\u003ch3\u003eWhat You'll Need\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\u003cul\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e2-channel radio\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003eSteering servo (standard or low-profile compatible)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003eElectronic speed controller (ESC)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e540-size motor\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e7.2-7.4 volt battery with compatible charger\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003eTamiya PS and acrylic paints\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBrushless motors are highly recommended for this chassis.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\r\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eBuilt for Baja fans and off-road buggy enthusiasts who want a chassis they can tune to the terrain, the VW Dune Beetle Cross combines adjustable front suspension geometry with a tough, protected drivetrain and a striking, detail-rich Beetle body, making it a standout build for both display and hard-charging off-road driving.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TAMIYA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45418892394519,"sku":"58757-000","price":525.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/6637\/4935\/files\/58757-000_1.jpg?v=1787116998","url":"https:\/\/www.hobbyvault.com.au\/products\/tamiya-rc-1-9-vw-dune-beetle-cross-bb-02","provider":"Hobby Vault Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
