Tamiya Monster Beetle Re-Release Rumor

Oh ya! There’s a rumor roaming the inter-webs that Tamiya may be re-releasing the Monster Beetle. Your guess is as good as ours as to what chassis it will be based on, but I would LOVE to see the old-school chassis/suspension back on it … and in red!

I’ve seen a mention of an October timeframe, so this would put it out in perfect time for Christmas. Get that on your Santa list and start being good!
