Francisco Fondi, of Hobby Media, sent us news of this wonderful project, by some German mechanics who call themselves The Bug Box. They’re building a life-size replica of the Tamiya R/C Scorcher, released 30 years ago. The original R/C VW Bug model was 1/10th and is probably the bestselling (and one of the most beloved) R/C cars ever produced. The Bug Box staff is also reproducing a 10/1 scale Acoms transmitter (used back in the day to control model cars). The 1/1 Scorcher replica will be exhibited during the next Toy Fair, held in Nuremberg in February.
What this piece doesn’t say is whether the car with actually be a working life-size R/C replica.

Having owned the RC car,and many of the Baja bugs, I never thought I would see the day……
There was a post here a while back on an i-Phone controlled car (chevy?) with a great video… This Baja Bug better at least turn the wheels side-to-side when the contoller joystick is moved :)
