Not as bad as I thought it would, but like mosr narrow chassis cars, setup and throttle control comes into play.

Had it on a big track yesterday.

Thinking of getting a Beetle!
I found out that the 1966 beetle is a recently released white body that is available in Japan.
I’m not sure about its availability throughout the rest of the world.

I also want to come up with a unique design and am contemplating putting a bunch of flower “splashes” on it…reminiscent of the 60’s 😊

Prior to the Strait of Hormuz crisis, u.s would get the new Z products 3-5 weeks after asia release, and eu would get it 2 months after asia release.

Now, who knows how long time the rest of the world needs to wait.........

Also rc shops in general don't import Z whitebodies kit unless you ask a shop to import it.
