Welcome to the "Through the Forest to the Beach" 2018 Summer Edition with a couple of new stars of the show: Albert Attaboy and the Tamiya Monster Beetle 2015. I have really been looking froward editing and sharing this one ... ever since the summer of 2018 where the footage was recorded and our family had a blast running the Tamiya Monster Beetle.
I included a few short "super slow motion" jumps from the beach in the middle of this running video, previously used in a short Galaxy S9 demo-video this summer, but always intended for this video. You can watch the original quick little edit here: • Tamiya Monster Beetle ...
This summer I also filmed a short GPS Speed Test: • Tamiya Tuesdays in 4K:...
I also filmed a lot of short one-takes, including this one which made it into my series of Tamiya Tuesdays: • Tamiya Tuesdays in 4K:...
... and I made a short edit of the Monster Beetle family fun we had on a day where a friend showed up with his DJI Phantom 4: • The Tamiya Monster Bee...
Check out my channel for many, many more previous videos with the Monster Beetle, including the unboxing, a build series, Tamiya Tuesdays, the maiden run, upgrading, trouble shooting and more running videos.
The Monster Beetle 2015 here is running stock except for extra ball bearings and the MIP Super Ball Diff. Check out previous videos for more information and specifications.

Nordic RC Visions Statement:
This video features homemade footage of my own radio-controlled unit, the Tamiya Monster Beetle 2015 (Tamiya 58618 from 2015), from my personal RC model collection. All rights reserved.
Around 2:50 he looks almost ready to give up.. mustering all his strength, then at 3:00 he makes it! It's amazing to watch him celebrate
most excellent video, well done
Thank you, James! Sorry about the late reply. TH-cam send your comment to the spam section. Irritating. Sorry. But thanks a lot for the kind words and for watching.
excellent!!
Thank you, JT!
Also ich muss sagen Super Tip Top Video Danke "!
Hi Axel! Thank you so much!
Instantly LIKED your videos. Now Im a SUBSCRIBER
Thank you very much, bro! Glad you liked it and welcome on board. Appreciate the nice feedback :-)
The monster beetle is so simple yet as a kid having one it was Syfy
Yeah, in 1986 I had a Nikko Turbo Panther. If I had seen the MB back then I would have fainted 😅
Just get a MB to Christmas from my girlfriend.. it is weak, noisy and absolutely fun to drive 😌 ..
Lovely video, fantastic mix of forest, sea, sand and cloudy blue sky 👍🏻
Nice, lolipop! "weak, noisy and fun" would be a perfect description, he he. Hope you're gonna have a lot of fun with yours. I absolutely love running mine. Definitely not one of my best runner,s performance wise but one of the coolest and funniest :-) Thank you very much for sharing and thank you very much for the fantastic feedback. Yeah, it was a lovely day in the summer.
@@NordicRC he he, well this is a challenge for us too to make it no more weak :) .. I have installed a smooth brushless/ lipo
system, but the typical "knock knock" problem started right now (sounds painfully)
Not sure what that is, but the stock gears are definitely what to be labeled as weak. I installed the MIP ball differential in mine, and it holds up splendid.
@@NordicRC the noise comes from the gear box joint teeth :) .. I ordered a couple days ago the MIP superball diff too, can't wait to install and drive.
Tamiya Quest: Conan's next adventure!
Conan?
Great Tamiya Monster Beetle sand beach slowmo bash
Big Like ;-D
Thanks a lot, my friend!
This is a great video
Thank you so much for watching and the kind feedback, Paul!
Bellissimo video
Thank you again fir watching, Daniele!
What a beautiful route, slow and beautiful show, nice video 😁👍
Thank you so much, DRRC- stunt! Really appreciate the kind feedback!
So much fun on the beach. :)
Yeah, we had fun, although it got stuck in deep sand quite a lot off camera. 2WD and differential. But when not in deep sand it really is a lot of fun 😀
Nice realisation, good job ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ a pleasure to see
Thanks a lot, bro! It was fun to film.
As always great video sir👊
Thank you so much, Luke!
Nice, gold wheels are still shiny!
Thanks, bro. Yeah, mostly been run in grass and sand with the stock motor so in pretty good shape still 😍
Great video 👍
Thank you!
Super, super!!!!! Great bashing Mikael. Love the super slow motion and the sand thrown around. Fantastic work 👌
Thanks, my friend! Yeah, a Tamiya, sand, sun and slo mo are a perfect match - I only have to point the camera 😃
Great video and run bro!! Absolutely love the slow-mo jump footage on the beach stunning Monster Beetle and editing, Awesome job :)
Thanks a lot, Chris! Yeah, when there’s sun, slo mo and sand and a cool Tamiya one just needs to point the camera at the right direction 😍
Loved this video! You reminded me that I need to take the side mirrors off whenever I run mine. Fantastic job Simon Mikael!
Thanks, Omar! He, yeah, I remember we talked about it. I still haven’t got to order some new ones, but when I do I will definitely not be either putting the MB in a bag neither run it with those. They break so easily. But they look good when intact and attached on the shelf 😀
Ha ha that was awesome. Something realy cool about watching MB get where it's going.
Thanks! Yeah, and I love filming it. Think the MB does most of the work, looking beautiful, so it’s just to point a camera at her.
Thats a fabulous look beetle my friend. Excellent video 👍👍
Thanks, Tibor! Yeah, such an icon from the past. Love running it ... and filming it 😀
beetle looks great flying through the air!
Thanks a lot for watching, doggy600k5! Yeah, love watching the Beetle in sunlight and slo mo 😀
Really good and music goes perfect 👌👍🏻
Thanks! Yeah, I kinda like this combination. So much it is the third annual ‘Through the Forest to the Beach’ 😀 Thanks a lot for watching, bro!
This has become one of my favourite videos of yours Mikael. I missed it because I was in hospital. But I am very happy that I have just found it my friend. I love it, and I love your wife for letting you use her Samsung ! MASSIVE THUMBS UP : ))
Thank you so much, Derek! Oh, yes, that must have been right about that time. Yeah, love it when I can "steal" her phone for a couple of hours, he he.
"When he arrives to the beach, he lets his inner child free, the joy!" Great vid!
That was a perfect way of describing this video, my friend! Awesome! And thanks and thanks for watching!
@@NordicRC 😎 Are Carson TX/RX good quality? Any problems with them?
Ahh - lovely reminder of how my first Tamiya used to look all those years ago! Fantastic footage, slowmo and editing my friend - a pure pleasure to watch! :-)
He, yeah, this 2015 is still in pretty good condition, apart from the usual roof rash and broken side mirrors. Yours look amazing with all the hop ups, Mr. Frankenstein, and what a story it could tell 😀 Think I’ll soon put a wibbly wobbly on this one. Miss it. Though I’ll chose one shorter than 2 meters. Thanks a lot for watching, my good friend.
@@NordicRC I'll look out for that antenna! :D
Super kool
Thank you so much, Rc Hunter!
Nice video and Beetlemania ❣️
Thanks, Drag IC! Yeah, Beetlemania is the right word ☺️ Just gotta love that classic red bug.
😄😄🙂👍🏻
Nordic RC Visions
Because of you, maybe I'll buy one when I will finish my Bigwig. 😌
In my opinion the Monster Beetle is the most iconic Tamiya Buggy or 80’s Buggy.
Sorry for my bad english.
Great looking beetle, really enjoyed the video.👍 😎
Thanks a lot my friend!
Great video and editing. The slow-mo jumps looked great. Awesome scenery too! 😎👌
Thanks a lot, buddy! Yeah, love watching the Monster Beetle out in the sun too. Such a beauty 🙂
Sweet the beach the perfect place for the Monster Beetle :-)
Yeah, such a good time. I miss the summer. If I should do the same today, it would involve rain, grey weather and 3-4 hours of cleaning the MB afterwards 😀 Thanks a lot for watching, Mal.
Cooooool
I enjoyed this journey like i was driving. Really nice video 👌
Thaaanks, my good friend! And again, thanks a lot for all the help with the TA-02 build.
Awesome! We just built ours, and it's super fun. I like the 'Forest to the Beach'. Cool idea! Great vid!!👍👍
Awesome too! Congrats with your new bug! Thanks a lot. Yeah, I kinda like this trip to the beach. It’s fun for both running and filming. The other years I did the same with the CC-01 Landfreeder.
Great camera work looks so sharp Beatle looks good👍👍💣💣
Thanks a lot, bro! It was a lot of fun to film it :-)
Albert sure knows how to have a good time. =)
He he, great comment! Yeah, Albert knows how to have fun with the Monster Beetle 😄
Great stuff Mikael. Oh how I miss the summer, the long days and the warm nights (well most of the time when it's not pouring down with rain lol).
Thanks, Rob! Yeah, miss it too. Especially this summer. This summer 2018 was one of the sunniest in years, last year, 2017 was one of the wettest. Summer up here where we live aren’t always sunny 😀
Very hard to drive and camera at the same time mate!!! at least you got the weather for RC. I enjoy watching your video!!!🏖️🎥
Thanks a lot, bro! Yeah, all is one-handed driving 🙂 But when the sun is out, all one got to do is press the throttle and point the camera to get some okay shots, he he. Love summer, RCs and filming 😀 Thanks a lot for watching.
So funny you say this as that’s what I do and sometimes even with the two toggle type trans I gotta do do for the viewers. Ugh it’s never easy solo. 👍
Awesome video and fantastic looking monster beetle 👍🏻
Thanks, Gav! Yeah, when summer and sun all one need is to point the camera at a Tamiya 😍
Happy New Year. Great video, not many things look better than a box art Monster Beetle with a blue background.
Happy new year, Jesper! Yes O agree very much! Too bad we have so little of the blue background nowadays in our country 😉 but at least I had some footage from the great summer. That red bug is meant to be run in the shining sun 😀
Nice monster bettle y liked Isabel my favorite car y have a monster bettle also good video. 😎👍
Thanks, Marcos! Yeah love the Monster Beetle out in the sun too 😍
Wonderful Beetle, nice channel. Subbed!
Thank you very much, Gottfried! And welcome on board ☺️
Damn I am glad I don't see real beetles this big out in nature :D Nice slowmo in air shots mate
Ha ha, yeah, that would be one scary bug 😂 Thanks a lot and thanks for watching, Michael!
What a grand old girl! It's good to go back to your roots every so often.
You've inspired me to dig my Clod out again, I'd have to stay somewhere in Scandinavia though, concrete tower blocks don't really have the same effect.
Great filming and editing as usual. 👌😁
Thanks a lot for watching, my good friend. Ahh, yeah, you got a beauty of a classic too there. Love running these old classic Tamiya Monster Trucks and would love a Clod some day too. The price of it has held me back so far though 🙂 Yeah, the countryside is nice sometimes, although mostly I do my running and videos in the City where I live.
Brilliant
Thank you very much, Mr.!
Thanks for the vidéo !
Thanks a lot for watching and the feedback, mate!
This is one of those kits ive got on my list, luv the look of this rig!
loving those slo-mo shots
You got a long list, Steve! Well, me too. So many beautiful Tamiyas. It’s never ending 😍
Thanks! Yeah, when the sun is good slo mo can be great 😀
Nice footage. Great looking beetle and it preforms better than expected. It really looks epic as it kicks up the sand and crushes the seaweed. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you for the feedback Robert! Yeah, really an iconic model. Love it 😍
Took my Hornet to the beach today! Great vid! Thanks again for the input for my build
Nice, Mo! Would love to take my Hornet to the beach some day too. Such a great classic icon too. And thanks a lot!

@@NordicRC, abacate partir do
Quando era mais contato comigo@@NordicRC
Oh yeah love it Mikael! Good to see the Monster Beetle having a lovely day out on the beach. Looks great. Very nice video. I reckon that those tyres look very good in the sand. The Lunchbox tyres work pretty well at the beach but I think that the little spikes on the MB tyres give it a little more grip on the firm sand. Anyway, happy new year mate and here's to much more RC related fun in 2019 :-)
Thanks, Pete! Yeah, the 2WD and the differential doesn't do much good in the deep loose sand (the MB mostly gets stuck there very quickly) but on the more firmer sand, it really runs great with the spiked tires biting in. Mostly those spikes doesn't do any good (like on hard packed dirt) but when they are able to dig in, like in the sand or gravel etc, they really give a lot of grip and push. A very happy new year to you too, my friend! 2019 gonna be a good RC year :-) Hope you got your new hobby room ready to go for the new year.
Nice video! I just want to let you know this is my favorite rc Channel ever! I just bought my first Tamiya (mynouth dream come True) and it's..the Monster Beetle! 😘😘😘
Hi Eros! Thank you so much! Wow, really great feedback. I’m honered. So cool you got the MB! Hope you will have as much fun with it as I have with mine ☺️ Again, thanks!
Awesome video man, can't wait to build mine.
Nice you got one! Happy building, bro.
😁👍Great video!!
Thanks, Steve!
That is so cool looking man! Great video at a great spot! Happy new year!
Thanks so much, my friend! And a very happy new year to you too!
Happy New Year my friend 🥳🍾🍾🍾
A very happy new year to you too, my good friend!
you can see his relief when he reaches the sand ........ yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !! ( Where is your beach please , it looks gorgeous !)
Yeah! To the Beach ! :-) Scandinavia, Denmark.
Nice .. just upload my MB
Nice! It’s such an icon
a friend of mine has an original 1987 one of these which he going to let me play with ... hope i dont break anything
Nice! Uhh yeah, be careful. Old plastic is very brittle, so it’s definitely more fragile than the release edition in this video. But hope you will have a good run!
Which word means "better than great"? Your channel and your videos (especially this one) are AWESOME! Subscribed so we don't miss your next video!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Klaus and Lukas! I really appreciate it and welcome on board!
Great video! Love the Monster Beetle. What are the differences between this and the newer Blackfoot? Are they the same underneath? Anyways, great filming as always!
Thanks a lot, Daryl! Yeah, love it too. The newer Blackfoot? The re-release? Both the original and re-release Monster Beetle and Blackfoot are based on the same ORV chassis. Basically the difference (other than color differences and body) is oil filled shocks (MB) vs friction shocks/springs (BF) and different tires.
Hello did you color the Body extra red or did you Just jused it Out of the Box. It Looks too shiny for Out of the Box?
Hello Hans-Joachim! Yeah, the body is primed and painted and coated and detailed out. You can find a complete video build series of the MB in my channel. Thanks a lot for watching.
just shows, it does not need to be 4wd to be capable off road!
Yeah, 2WD has it's limits, but they can be real fun too, as long as one keeps the momentum and speed up, so it won't get stuck.
@@NordicRC I am trying to decide between an exc 2wd monster truck or the 4wd arrma grantie both are cheaper start off models, with brushed motors, so far I don't think i need the 4wd, i plan on using it in my back garden on grass and dirt and one longer hill. Think 2wd should be enough. Might be wrong though.
Quick question, I know they switched from the hex-half shafts to proper dog bones. How are they holding up?
Hi James. No, they switched to the universal axles. They hold up great, but they bind with full suspension travel. I tried the Frog dogbones in another video. They bind less. But both the dogbones and uni-axles are definitely better than the old one.
Mikael, do you find the bearings get sand in them ? I use the 1150 rubber sealed bearings and they seem to block out water and sand well.
Hi James. Yeah, when I can I usually always use the rubber sealed ball bearings for the wheel axles etc. For the gear boxes I usually use the cheaper metal sealed although sometimes sand even find the way to the gears. But I often lubricate the “assembly cracks” of the gear box so it creates a kind of seal. For the wheel axles I often use the cheaper generic rubber sealed 1150 from eBay and the likes (sold in packs of 50-100). It keeps the individual bearing price down and I am able to just replace them if salty sand gets in.
@@NordicRC good ideas.
Super cool slo mo footage, nice sounds and scenery too. Can I ask what camera you used and what fps setting?
Thanks, bro! Yeah the super slow motion was shot with the Galaxy S9, in 960 fps. Got other videos in my channel explaining how it works. The ‘normal’ slo mo was shot with just an old iPhone, in 120fps.
@@NordicRC Thanks will take a look :)
Yeah, search for Galaxy S9 in my channel. Thanks a lot for watching, Lander!
Very nice video. What camera do you use?
This one was shot on phone cameras :-) iPhone and Samsung
@@NordicRC looks great...especially the slow motion. What editing software are you using?
Crap editing software to be honest (excuse my language) 🙂 Movie Maker and Adobe Premiere Elements. Couldn’t get any worse. But I spend all my spare money on RC’s 🙃
@@NordicRC Does your Iphone and Samsung have video stabilization?
Did you film this in the uk
Hi, my friend. Nope! All Scandinavian pine trees and sand :-)
ok
@@NordicRC
Nordic RC Visions have you tried the mip ball diff for the beetle it solves the driveshaft problems out
