FMS / ROC Hobby is really stepping up their game, now we just need a fully amphibious schwimmwagen to become a full circle

Wow! I'm blown away, being a VW guy. That thing actually has legit twin-beam torsion axle in front and IRS out back, just like a full-scale Beetle. (Although IRS wasn't 'till 1967, it's a better choice than swing-axle)

The figure is of Sarah-Jane Smith from the Dr Who range Phil. That VW is really good looking and seems to perform pretty well too.

Just need a 1/6 version now!!

Official release is tomorrow (14th). Links should work by then). I noticed a few early released videos so thought I better jump on the bandwagon this time around! (I got left behind on the last one lol)

You're such a shill for ROC HOBBY! Don't worry, so am I!

This is definitely a must have for me! And your figure is Sara Jane Smith.

The attention to detail is incredible on these cars!! And Sarah-Jane Smith!! Had a massive crush on her when she was the Doctors assistant, back in the day!! 🤗👍🏻

Nice looking beetle. Looked even better out of the box. 👍🏼

It's like a surprising video crawler!

The Details on this are fantastic, down to the reduction boxes. Super cool !

You did a thorough review as usual. The scale detail is excellent.

Incredible detail. The blackout light was a type made by Notek.

OMG! I just saw official FMS FB page going to release this and you've got it? Man!!! That's awesome 🤩

Susan's skin tone matches the paint scheme to a tee! 👍👏

I just told a friend I didn't have any projects that I was working on, then this comes along! Gotta do a Herbie version!

Absolutely Brilliant model Phil! Gotta say, I don’t see people leaving this one alone. It’s definitely got a “mod bod”. The 4wd just makes it even more bad ass! Detail is top notch! I know I’ll be late to this party though at almost $270 beans! Great review Mr Phil!☕️☕️Cheers brother!

It's Sarah from Dr Who. Great rc model. Brilliant detail. Oh and they did come out in 4x4 .

What a great RC You you did a good job unboxing and testing it for all of us👍 Thanks

Awesome! Thank you for sharing! Model looks amazing!

I seen this on olive rc's channel roc hobby really are second to none when it comes down to the little details, hope you and Susan enjoy the rest of your night 😉

Gorgeous car! Incredible detail and a really fun choice of model to make

Bloody love this. An early Beetle is the holy grail, but a Kommandeurwagen is proper WWII overlanding.

AWESOME DETAILS

Great review and lots of details. 👍

Thanks Joe

FMS/Rochobby have some of the best quality scale options I've seen! I have the grey Land Cruiser, and although I stripped out a one of the transmission gears (it isn't a manufacturer defect, it was completely my fault), it's incredibly capable and super well made!

Incredible detail 👌

This Model is really scale. Even the arrangement of the additional shiftable front wheel drive. Okay the original speed decresed from 75 down to 10 km/h. So you better not get under fire while climbing a hill😁. One thing they missed is an s. In correct german it's named Kommandeurswagen.😉 Meaning the car of a commander. Without the s it means that the car is the commander. Might be a theme for a transformer film🤔. Hope they'll do a civil after-war version sometime in the nearer future, we'll probably see many customized Herbies. Thanks for your presentation Tomley👍

In fact the other mistake besides the missing s is that the Kommandeurswagen is the type 87. The 82e was indeed 2WD only. But if that's all they did wrong on this beautiful model, they did a darn good job. Mine is hopefully arriving in the next days. :-)

Cool ride! Love the nose dive!!

love it! The details are very good!

How cow Batman , the scale details are amazing , she is a beaut

That figure is Sarah-Jane, aka the late Elizabeth Sladen.

excellent details. i am really amazed by this. let me share this to our vw group. need to save up for this. i know this wouldn’t be cheap. if only this came out with “wpl-like” prices then we wouldn’t hesitate hoarding this and do various mods to the body. thanks phil 👍🏻😀🍻

Ok gotta admit this is one of the coolest litte rc cars I've ever seen.

Very cool find 😎

Very nice model, nice to see FMS putting out great models! however..... I must point out some mis-information.... The Type-82e is called a "Staff Car" or "Geländekäfer" and it was built on the high clearance Type-82 Kübelwagen Chassis which is 2WD with a self locking diff. The higher specification "Kommandeurswagen" is Type-87 which uses the front axle of the Type-166 Schwimmwagen which is 4WD with self locking ZF diffs front and rear. But It also has 5cm wider fenders, wider tyres , cow hide interior and a sunroof. The Kommandeurswagen were either 2 or 3 seat versions (not more) so if a secretary sat in the rear (left), in an emergency could step up (right) onto a solid panel to then climb out of the sun-roof. No Type-82e had a sunroof because that was the 2WD version of the Kommandeurswagen called the Type-92. On that note the Type-92e "Holzbrenner" was the wood fueled version with overland roof rack. Now lets all hope that FMS bring out more great models such as a fully functioning amphibious Type-166 :-)

I like the detail all the way down to the lack of drain plug lol

WoW, just wow😯😮 that is a true little gem

Watched it on OLIVE RC channel this morning.

I’m a big fan of the Beetle. Kinda feel like getting on of these and nodding it to be fast!!! Brushless on 3s!

Kept expecting to see my Yellow Beetle 😄

Hey Tomley, I like your video, it's very nice and detailed. 😉

Next get the Universal Motorgerät "Unimog" ;-)

Brilliant mate I went one can't go on website 👍

Awesome video thanks! The detail is so cool on this car! I can imagine some of these being turned into Herbie cars! I was wondering if you would be replacing the motor with something more powerful? Would you be doing a video to show what the drivetrain looks like? It comes with a 130 motor. Wonder how hard it would be to put a 180 motor or if WPL parts can be used to upgrade this car? Thanks!

Wow Bro!! Great car and video!!

I'm pretty sure Volkswagen did make a 4WD version of the Beetle during WII for a staff car.

oh, what a beauty

Very nice 🙏🥰

We certainly hope Suzan will become co-host one day ;-p

Ok I will do the rivet thing , If it's a T82E it's a Geländekäfer and 2wd ,if it's a T87 Kommandeurswagen it was 4wd,they came with the slide canvass roof and widened arches to fit those off road tyres.

I know a man who would love this, hey Keldon Raven! In 2wd and high gear on a flat smooth surface does it have enough punch to drift ??? Because that would be awesome ! Speed run on hi and low, 2wd and 4wd .... Can't wait to see more of this! If you do ever want to move it on, please put me on the list !

This looks more like the original Porsche design that you could mount a machine gun too the bonnet/hood
