😃It's Herbie the Love Bug!😆👍

Very impressive! FMS/RocHobby just keeps pushing the bar on these scale RC's.

The suspension movement is very scale this is how my 67 van moves when you put your foot down to go forward as a result of having reduction boxes as vw calls them, or portal axles, not usually on early Beetles

Anybody who's driven a Volkswagen realizes that that little car has got some pretty impressive legroom. My old boss has a 67 beetle that's all hot rodded out and makes like 200 horsepower. Does wheelies can't help it feel this with a 4S brushless system would be a good scale version of that

The KdF wagen - Kraft durch Freude (Strength through Joy). 'Beetle' sounds a bit more cuddly. I have a mate from school days who bought a knackered Beetle about 1990, when we were 17, which he paid the princely sum of £75 for, and he still owns it to this day, as in Jan 2023. It had a full rebuild back then, as it spent years sat in a quarry being used as a slide by the local kids, who climbed up onto the roof and slid down the back of it, so the roof was caved in, and during it's extraction from the quarry, it rolled into the back of the lorry towing it out which stoved in the bonnet, front panel and both front wings. It survived all that and looks cherry today.

I love that it has 2wd and 4wd. 2wd for scale and 4wd for usability. Great video sir!

FMS has the absolute best packaging too. Obviously the little foam cases, but the artwork on the Max Smasher box was top notch, vintage goodness. They are on fire.

its just a waste of material! No one needs these boxes! 90% will throw them awas, 9% keep them but dont use them, and only 1% of some overcarefull people actually take their car with them in the box!

I see these models being more aimed at collectors and most of the time they don't throw the packaging away as it keeps it's value better, but hey that's just me and I doubt your percentages are actually factual, seems more subjective.

It's kinda ironic that the RAF should do a fly by when the Hitler car is out driving on British soil lol Jokes aside great amount of detail in that little package.

What an immensely desirable product! I may be biased because I love scale classic cars and 1:12 is my favourite scale, but this just oozes quality and good design - and once it's moving, the weird rear suspension movements aren't at all noticeable.

Scalers will love this. It's a great looking car.

That goobleblargon is especially clean.

I think THE ROCK will like that car.

The music was like being on a Sunday drive cute little car

FMS has really been setting the standard lately!

Holy crap, that is so good I half expected ze Fuhrer to make an appearance! Oh wait, he's busy in Davos........

Really cool. 🎥

I remember my mom having a bug when I was about 8-10 yrs old, hated that car. In the winter had no heat and was an icebox to ride in. No power steering or power brakes also.

the peoples car was very good in snow in real life because of the engine over the rear wheels since it was rwd you should see if its any good when you get some snow. great video

This is a great scale RC. It seems to be implemented well, similar to the real car. Of course, the movement may not be as real as other scale RCs, but it is well made very similar to the real car. This is a great video.👍👍👍

I think it's the portals making the rear end jump up

Nice car, I like it. I had a 68 beetle years ago, I loved that thing. Funnily enough VW Beetles were quite capable off roaders (for medium type of stuff) in their standard trim. They were often raced in round Australia Rallys. They were even better when modified for that kind of thing.

Nice video Phil.

Our neighbors had one , me and my buddies got sauced one night and grabbed it and moved it a couple of streets away, next morning the police was looking around for it 🤣🤣🤣

The old Volkswagen beetles can float in the water the ones today I don't think so

That little thing is beautiful! Top review as always buddy! Im sure Sarah Jane will love driving it especially as she's kept her lower legs! Ha! Ha! 😁👌

awesome!!!

Sunroof, nice. 👍

FMS/Roc Hobby is king of scale.

I need it just because its an old beetle, paint it white. Add a few stickers and bam a love bug is born

The bug reminds me of Herbie. A brushless would be good in that bug.

Nice. they also have a TOYOTA FJ45 Pickup that I have been eyeing. I wish they started to sell the larger scales here in US as they do in UK. Would love to pick up a FTX Outback Tracker.

Great video

My brother is going to flip out!!!!!!

I’ve been waiting for this car to drop! 😁 I want to buy one for my Cen F450 to tow!

The only things which missing now are the schwimmwagen and the kettenkrad 😂

It's funny because Volkswagens bugs never came in 4-wheel drive

Love it! My Mom had a black late 50's beetle. Then a red TR4 with a black top.

The packaging is just as nice as the vehicle

Beautiful little car, Phil! It really looks amazing! 😃 Great ride and review! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

First time commenting on your channel, such a cool little rc that’s worth sitting on a desk as a display car. Cheeky retro filter at the end, Tomley. I chuckled LOL.

I do like a 1/12!

Das ist gut, ja! Lovely wee thing.

The perfect car to convert into a scaler baja buggy!

damn.... wish i had the money, ive always been having an eye on them!

They do look awesome in motion.

NICE REVIEW

Very nice. Funny I leave the RC hobby alone for a while and BANG new products all the time. This Beetle is very nice, I can see this getting modified with a fast setup etc etc.

Very nice!! Great video as always!

Nice ...Just 👍

FMS is on point, their panes are epic too!

What a fantastic looking / running model!

A very smart model for sure

So cool! I wish they were 1/10 scale

wish they went *really* scale built more like a Tamiya Sand Scorcher, rear motor plugging into a trans-axle like a boxer engine does. VW's always did surprisingly well off road if you know how to drive them, a model would too, AWD is such a blasphemy to old VW's lol. so many details on that are SO NICE, no complaints about its looks!

$190 that's not bad

LOL, nice driving.

The VW also had a trailer option. Fifth wheel trailer on the top.

I got my 40th birthday coming up 25th January trying to decide on a birthday to myself

Volkswagen means “ der peoples kar” in German . Name is fitting.. I want one 😊

Another successful scale car

Adding this one to my list! great video!

Im a few minute’s into watching and already want to order one and convert to replicate my baja bug back when i had more hair and what is left wasn’t grey hahaha. And to comment before i watch to the end, from what you have seen is it “modifiable”

Get another one and make a beach 🏖 buggy with surf 🏄 board on top.. Baja style 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Cool car! My dad owned a 69' Beetle for the longest time. I SO wish my mom didn't make him sell it!

Υou should put a camera also inside the car.It would be great material 👌

OH YEAH 🇬🇧✌🏼 Thanks for posting SIR. FMS are KILLING it with there detailed vehicles. Phi have you seen the new scx 24 rear stear? 🇬🇧✌🏼👍🏼

I think that would become a crazy crawler if i had it. Neat little thing.

I love all these

Very cool, thanks for the review! Would love to see a Herbie car made from this!

awesome video tomley!

now FMS just needs to come out with the Cal look People's Car

Definitely a sweet detained lil thing. For me I would like it in 10th scale , just that little bit bigger

Please put a doll with a "nice" mustache on the war VW

Absolutely gorgeous!👌🥰👍

An uncle of mine had one -- think it must have been a split rear window. It had no fuel gauge; when it started to run out, you pulled over a small lever under the dash somewhere to open a small reserve tank to get enough to find the nearest filling station. I trust this is reproduced in this one, it's incredibly accurate. (!)

I absolutely ❤️ this bug! See what I did there?😂🤪 ❤️bug…

Love it!

Wow. Looks great.

Imagine installing a beetle sound kit in there. Would that be possible?

Great Scale piece of kit, now you have 2, will you mod this one, into Team TRC colours and "Supe" it up ??

😍😍😍

My father owned a VW dealer ship and shops. In the 60's and 70's. It would take to long to explain why some possibly had 4 wheel drive. But basically military parts did end up on some "people's cars"

Beetles didn’t have portals but the busses did

You need to take out the passenger seat and wrap up a barbie in carpet and turn Austin Powers into Ted Bundy😂😂😂

Real beetles suspension did tge same thing, which is why they came out with tge super beetle with McPherson struts , which eliminated that

Now they need to make a VW van

Hoña Amigo como estas , estas replicas son muy detalladas , fms se supera dia a dia construyendo estos autos el jimmy es mi preferido ,lastima que esta marca no la venden aca en Panama centro america, saludos y exitos siempre . Pd: cuando ya no quieres el Jimmy puedes donarmelo para hacer un video aca en el tropico Panameño .feliz dia a todos bemdiciones

Oh no, this car's going to get cease and desisted like the Mashigan. "The People's Car" They're just asking to get sued.

Make the doors black make the hood black make the trunk black

great review! I admire the level of detail of this brand! But there is something that worries me a lot, is it the quality of the stock electronics, esc, battery, servo, were these 3 components designed to last long periods of use? Can Fms live up to axial, gmade, kyosho or traxxas in terms of electronic quality? greetings

Nice 👍

love vids keep it up!!

Now we just need to make one of those go as fast as the real thing so that car about 50-60

Nice! Whats the runtime?

There are even buttons on the seat of the chair for the driver figure to pull off with the cheeks of their arse just before a crash

it looks AMAZING! i just got a question, what is the top speed in 2nd gear?? because i really want to know if its really slow or it haves a normal speed, cool videos.

Notek light on the commander

Wish a company made a square back and a fast back vw.. and wish a company made a solid axle gasser dragster car... .. but a bigger scale like 1/10 scale and 1/8 scale car like the ones I mentioned and your cars.. with these details

Love it, but the FMS site doesn't have it available anymore :((((

Never noticed before ..But( engage rivet counter mode) th front wing sculpting behind the headlights looks a bit over pronounced/odd/pointy at the top end and no idea what the round recess on top of the wing is for.. However a very few early split screens did have a chassis part built from kubelwagen parts and did have the reduction boxes , so may have had some of these odd features ,as holdovers from earlier production practices/tooling.. sorry edit to add, it also appears to have a late model front hood ,rather than a earlier pointed one , the rear engine cover appears to be correct as an early pointed bonnet with popes nose numberlight.
