- In this video, Rebecca and I finish the three-week-long RCKicks Monster Herbie build project. Two bodies all painted in, one in the box art Black Edition livery and the other in the iconic movie Herbie car livery.
We had issues with slow paint delivery and continuous rain hindering the build process.
Well, we finally made it, what do you think?

Could you watch my video at the my channel about my Herbie Beetle? And please comment on my body custom
The monster beetle was my first r.c.car and I've been a fan herbie the love bug movies. You fixed the weak link by installing a rear diff.🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈
Hi Rebecca and Gav - you did a lovely job painting those bodies. The Herbie Monster Bug turned out great, nice to see something a bit different. It will be interesting to see what you can come up with for the wheels and tyres, plus the chrome bumper. Having said that, it still looks pretty damn good with the stock rims! :)
Herbie came out GREAT!! Both did!! Cheers Rebecca and Gav. 👍👍😎
Please stay SAFE! 😷
Carmine ✈🚂🚙

Herbie doesn't need a driver 😉
Awesome 😎 The Diff Upgrade 👌🏻 Awesome to see The Beetle Finished 🥳
Great vid. Lovely work on the Herbie. Look forward to the next project. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Really enjoyed this three-part series.
Car looks incredible.👍 Different rims would make it look better.....can't wait for more.
Also there's a really good pair of gold aluminum shocks on e Bay
They sell them in a variety of colors I got mine and gold for the Blackfoot and for the monster beetle I'm doing black and green

Really proud and happy to see the project finally completed! Painting is one of those love-hate things about this hobby for me so glad the two bodies turned out great for you two!
Looks awesome !
MIP balldiff is so good
Great looking monster Herbie 😎👍
I love tamiya kit there not a basher they are not made to go 70 mph but they are fun to go out and bounce them around. I just got two midnight pumpkins a chrome version and a black version for me and my wife to build together this will be her first one of many.
Love that black monster beetle. Looking very tanned rebecca 😎
Your destroy the gearbox 1) i did with s monster beetle one that came out in the 1990s on a tamiya nicad battery 540 motor a sports tuned you will get problems too even with the new dog bones as they pop out as back suspension drops to low but you exsperts probably worked this out by now. Get mip diff and shorten rear shocks i recommend as i will do when i re build my re release one! Could not get black one so bought extra body to do both and going to use a frog light grey chassis.
Many thanks for listening srg-hitman
Looks like I screwed up the video colour lol. Sorry about that.
Jason Smith Hehehe It’s OK I fixed the colour in the next video that’s coming out. Screwed up the sound a bit but I’ve fixed the colour issue hehehe. I’ll get it in the end.
They look great, well done,😀😀😀
Great stuff, very nice outcome on both the Beetles. It seems lockdown has given Rebecca some time to soak up some sun ;-)
Sander De Volder Nope just me stuffing up the video colour heheh. She will be back to normal on the next vid heheheh
Yay another video with Rebecca!
Hey if you look on eBay you could find a tube tire for the monster beetle
Great video. Love the herbie beetle,
Awesome! I love monster beetle herbie, too.

Hi ,maddam your voice is so..sweet
Hiya guys, great to see you both. Did you manage to find a front bumper for the Herbie build?
Yep thanks 👍🏻. If you look you can see it on the wall in the studio.
I have a re-re Monster Beetle kit to build next, but cant seem to decide on a color for it. It looks good in red, but I don't want to paint it red. I wish it was the black edition...
Try searching for proline 2.2 street tires They made them back in the day i had a set for my king cab it might be under vintage "damn im old" lol
I'm "that age"!! 😖 Totally understand. I MISS my King Cab!! 😭
Try proline road hawgs
Comical avante looked more fun. Needs some setup work to prevent too much wheelies though. Lightweight lipo up top would lesson traction rolling too.
Keep looking for the DT-01 Street Fighter Tires could be the street tires you're looking for Tam 5818411
Have you thought about adding some plates like they do on drift rc cars?
Awesome to see Herbie coming to life 👍👍
friktion Rebecca and I looked at the Tamico plates you can get the other day. Next time I order from them I will pick up a set.
Gavin, have you tried using micro-sol and micro-set on the decals? I use them primarily on waterside decals, but the premise should work. Might be worth a look.
That’s a new one on me, what’s that? Happy pay to give it a try.
RCKicks it’s quite a cheap investment. It helps decals conform.
Regarding tyres. Take a look at the proline Hoosier Super Chain Link T 2.2" or proline trencher 2.2". Both have a realistic tyre look.
Herbie come out great, but I think white wheels would look much better to finish it off.
Hi rc kicks I overheard that glen Barclay is possibly gonna stop his CZcams channel I hope this doesn’t happen his group is Tamiya legends
How is he going to do that?.
Mikey C what you mean he’s just not gonna do them
How did you feel about the ball diff difference? You could use that green slide as a massive jump, fingers crossed.
Peter Renaud Well we know the MIP will take more power and won’t explode every now and again so that’s a win. Can’t say about drivability yet as we haven’t run the car in anger. I’ve got a basher body coming for it so Rebecca can have it as a trail basher.
Vintage collection but modern music is painful
the white herbie looks soooooooo cool. but why no white wheels? :(
Where did you get the black edition decals? Please many thanks
Great work! Did you ever find a chrome bumper that'll work with Herbie?
Yep it’s coming.
Just a heads up...CZcams took it upon themselves to unsubscribed my alert notifications from you. That's messed up.
Great, thanks CZcams. It's not like starting a CZcams channel in 2019 wasn't hard enough already.
u could upgrade even more
Tamiya 1/10 Monster Beetle Subaru Brat Aluminum Upright +Front Knuckle & Arm set
see how u upgrade the diff right could u use the vintage brat gear set in there?
PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS thanks great video
How many coats of White did you use Gav?.
Hi Gav, noticed that Herbie has a chrome bumper on your latest video on the cool wall, not sure if I missed the video where you talked about it, I'm currently building one myself and wondered if you could tell me where you got it. Cheers
Hi, it’s from a Tamiya Beetle kit. You have to mod it to make it fit the MB.
@@RCKickschannel thanks Gav!
Do you have any king Blackfoot RC trucks or parts I am looking for front and parts or do you know what are she truck is compatible with that RC truck please comment back thank you very much for this video
Sorry I don't Martin.
@@RCKickschannel OK thank you anyway
They both look fantastic, in your studio tour you mentioned getting decals blown up to size is this someone in the UK that does this as I’m trying to source some 1/8 Lancia delta martini decals.
What filler did you use for the plastic, how did you get it sanded so nice and smooth? Verry nice paintjob.
I dont understand why Tamiya says to put the shock limiters that limit the travel, specially in the front i dont see a reason for it... also why not limit the travel with a rubber tube but instead put this hard impact with the plastic limiters, i think i will change that on mine.
why do you use primer? Is ther any Problem with TS colors directly onto the body?
I removed the sunroof and front joint so filler primer helps keep things nice and smooth.
i hate the headlamps in the wrong location on these bodies. It just doesn't look good IMO.
Do you notice a big difference with ball dif compared to standard?
Wonder if the chrome midnight pumpkin wheels with the rim painted body colour white would work better?
I’ll have a look, I have a set
Using the hairdryer to soften decals, is that something you do with normal Tamiya stickers as well?
Yeah pal. Cut the sticker first. Then dip it in a soapy mixture. This enables you to place it perfectly. When happy with location whilst holding it, dab it dry squeezing the water out. Then hairdryer over any creases in the body.
Fancy painting mine??? I can't be arsed 😁
Once I’ve painted all mine no problem 😉
Hi likeing the videos this is great wat radio gear do you use iv go rc tamiya cars and still useing tge retro cristals in my radiogear cheers.
Steve Lilly Flysky budget trans and receiver normally with the Tamiya basic ESC for basic brushed running. HobbyWing brushless stuff for the more quick cars. Servos are whatever I have in stock but normally banggood 25kg+ unless I’m after something super responsive and then it’s a Savox.
UW lens in front of the desk is not doing you any favours
That’s a blue shirt Gav.. with white buttons and inside collar... just saying.
Heheh stay turned, I have something cool coming. 🤣
Hi Gav, would the wheels and tyres from the comical Grasshopper be any good?
I did think about the comical cars funny enough. The issue is these are modern looking as well. The best rim that works is something like the King Cab as it’s almost a flat rim with just a middle bit of moulding that could be painted black. This is close to what Herbie’s wheels look like. The issue is I can’t find a rear set.
doesn't gavs legs look great with that skirt on .
Colin Fairbairn Thanks Colin, I work out. When I say working out, that’s me standing at my desk for five hours while building a chassis. That counts right?
