This is the Kyosho Super Alta VW Beetle, Kit no. 3056 from the early ’80′s.
The Super Alta chassis is an 1/10th scale electro 2-WD chassis with a 540-size motor which was placed in front of the rear axle. Direct drive with gear-differential in the right rear wheel. At the front it has indepent suspention on both wheels and the rear is a sort of ‘fixed power pod’ which is ‘fixed’ in the chassis and has a rubber plate on the bottom which allows a little movement. (*dead-beam rear axle)
The Kyosho Super Alta 1/10th was available as ‘top chopped’ VW Beetle (featured here) and as Mini Cooper (Kit no. 3055)
Both cars of the Super Alta model range (the Beetle and Mini) had the following features:
- Accurately moulded scale body
- Many chrome details (wipers, bumpers, door handles, lights etc…)
- Factory assambled chassis for easy of construction
- Gear type differential for improved handling
- Hi-Speed Mabuchi RS-540SH electric motor included in kit
- Swing arm front suspention and dead-beam rear axle
- Simple construction and adjustment, ideal for beginner.
