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

Are you looking for a complete rc car (car + body + radio) or are you just
looking for a body for one of his existing rc's? If you're looking for the
whole shebang, how much are you willing to spend and do you want to go
nitro/gas or electric? If you're just looking for a body what scale is the
vehicle you're buying the body for? 1/10? 1/18? 1/8?

More info needed before we can help!

There was a guy on Ebay here in Aus selling remanufactured Tamiya Monster
Beetle bodies real cheap.

Alternatively have a look at
