|  Monster Beetle QD
I just bought a monster beetle on ebay then I realized it had a QD at the end does that mean its a smaller one ? If so how big are they and will it look ok with 1.9s? |

I'm not sure the exact size, but yeah - I'm pretty sure the QD (Quick Drive) line of cars are smaller. Edit: I checked TamiyaUSA, and the one they list is 1/14 scale. Last edited by Mad Scientist; 11-27-2007 at 10:46 AM. |

Tamiya QD's are their "toy" versions of a lot of their popular kits. they are smaller, and the only thing truely hobby grade about them is that they use a battery pack, and they have the Tamiya name on them...

Yeah, the MB QD is pretty tiny. You might be able to get away with 1.9's under it, but it's nowhere near as big as the 1/10 MB.

Hmmm ... I had a Midnight Pumpkin QD in like Grade 5 or something and from what I remember, it took 8 AA batteries in the truck and 8 AA batt's in the transmitter. I managed to wear down the motor in about a week... hehe. It was good for doing wheelies tho  EDIT: I might even have it buried still in the basement .... LOL! If it is even there and I remember to, I could snap some pics for ya. http://www.tamiyaclub.com/car.asp?id=107 http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_m...11279&sid=1015 - LOL that is exactly what I had.. (have?) Last edited by Nerve; 11-27-2007 at 12:01 PM. |
