| What an interesting gentleman. Is he a professional model maker? I like his enthusiasm, and attention to detail. |

| The vehicle looks good but why didn't they make the engine and exhausts correct? |

Süss! I'm liking that...
this is an interesting bit of film in the second advert video, british officer in leather jerkin overseeing german staff with german officer still wearing his cap (minus eagle I assume)

Imagine having a fully functional Schwimwwagen.

Incredibly detailed. I have 2 of the Beetles. In order to open the doors, you have to pull the door handles, soft cushion seats, split dash with speedometer pod & switches, petal cluster, gear shifter, E brake, removable tires with 5 small screws, independent suspension.
You can see the engine pulleys spin when the motor runs.
The wiper arms move, but not automatically.
The only problem I had with it was when it was T-boned by a Notorious RC truck doing about 20MPH, which is why I had to get another one.

They do have nice detail.I have only run mine indoors so far. Anxious to play outside, but waiting for a part. Purchased it from Fair RC, where customer service proves excellent. If you get one don't forget an extra battery as they last about 20 min run time. Trying to find a suitable 6 inch driver figurine to put inside

To install the battery are two plugs. The one hot-glued onto the front fender well is placed in a way that makes it very difficult (for me at least) to connect onto. As a result the male plug- attached to back of the power switch is missing a pin now. (Replacement coming,thanks)
This is a really well thought out model, but I wish they had considered making battery changes more accessible.Gotta point out loving the 4WD option----- this is not really a crawler/climber as some, but it will do obstacles.All the you_t vids show it!

It took me a little while to figure out how to get 4 wheel low.
