I've scoured the net for a New Beetle rc car and have come up empty.
My Dad (who is big into RC cars) suggested I look for either a clear
body I could paint or have painted but again, nothing. Tamiya has
discontinued their New Beetle bodies so I'm well and truly stuck.

If someone could set me in the right direction I'd really appreciate
it. This is going to be a holiday gift for my husband who just bought
a yellow diesel VW Beetle.

Thanks;

Herb

I would suggest having your Dad find something for you if he is big into RC.

Also depends on if you want to get a bottom of the line toy or a full
fledged RC, as to price.
Heres a starting suggestion (the quickest thing I could locate)...HPI RS4

I would also suggest changing your name from Herb if your female. =)
