The Kyosho Beetle off-road racer…… This is a model I have wanted to build for a long time and never really took the plunge to get one, until now! Having never built a Kyosho kit this had me super excited and I could wait to get started on the build however first let’s get it unboxed!

So the most important part of the kit is the instruction manual! Not only will this guide you through the build process but once it's built the exploded views at the back give you all the part numbers for the replacement parts!

WOW! I love the way these models are packed in the box, the level of through process that went into packaging blows my mind. Inside the box you will find a pre-assembled transmission, shocks, wheels and tyres and a pre-cut but clear body shell. 

Removing the blister packs you will find the screw and parts bag’s that are all clearly labelled ready for the build to begin! I can not wait to get started on this, although I almost feel guilty that I have to rip all of the parts out of their blister packs.
