Buggy Amewi CoolRC DIY Oldscool 2WD 1:18 Electric engine 8+

The Amewi CoolRC DIY Oldscool is a 1:18 scale 2WD electric buggy kit designed for ages 8 and up. The 63-part model combines assembly and driving: its parts snap together via an intelligent plug-in system so the buggy can be built without tools or glue in about 30 minutes. The chassis and body are made of solid ABS plastic, and UV-resistant stickers with modern patterns allow individual styling. Tyres made from a high-grip rubber compound, functional shock absorbers and splash-water protection make the model suitable for outdoor use and off-road driving. A 2.4 GHz pistol remote control is included; only household batteries are required for the vehicle and transmitter.

Advantages

The kit assembles quickly without tools or glue thanks to a 63-piece snap-fit system, offering both construction and driving enjoyment. Robust ABS construction and UV-resistant stickers ensure durability and easy customization.
