FMS Model 1:12 Type82 Kubelwagen RTR Gray 4WD Scale RC Car
The FMS Model 1:12 Type82 Kubelwagen RTR Gray is an ultra-detailed, 1/12 scale 4WD remote-controlled military model vehicle designed for scale RC builders, historical model collectors, and outdoor trail enthusiasts. Recreating the iconic WWII German utility vehicle, it delivers exceptional scale accuracy combined with functional mechanical performance.
This scale model solves the issue of poor chassis detail and limited mechanical articulation common in static or mini RC models by offering four-wheel independent suspension, portal axles, and a transmitter-controlled 2-speed transmission. Powered by a scale-detailed, air-cooled 130 motor and a digital steering servo, it effortlessly maneuvers over outdoor dirt paths, garden trails, and scale obstacle courses. Compatible with the included 2S 7.4V 380mAh LiPo battery (USB rechargeable) and 4-channel 2.4GHz radio system, its main benefit is museum-grade visual accuracy combined with versatile, low-speed off-road driving capability right out of the box.
Product Details
The FMS Model 1:12 Type82 Kubelwagen RTR Gray is a 1/12 scale 4WD scale RC vehicle engineered for scale builders and military history hobbyists who demand authentic historical details with working off-road mechanicals. It is commonly used in scale trail driving, diorama displays, and detailed photography where unrealistic chassis components or basic body lines break scale immersion. Compatible with 2S 7.4V LiPo batteries and standard 2.4GHz radio transmitters, it helps users achieve precise low-speed crawling, functional 2-speed gear shifting, and synchronized steering wheel movement for a realistic driving experience.
Key Features
Selectable 2-Speed Transmission: Switch seamlessly between high-torque low gear for technical crawling and high gear for faster trail runs via the radio transmitter.
Four-Wheel Independent Suspension & Rear Portal Axles: Features trailing arm suspension and portal axle hubs that increase ground clearance over rocks and roots.
Synchronized Steering Wheel & Opening Body Panels: Servo-operated interior steering wheel turns with the front wheels, complemented by opening doors, hood, and rear engine hatch.
Belt-Driven Scale Engine & LED Lighting: Highlights a detailed rear air-cooled flat-four engine replica with a belt-driven cooling fan and functional headlights.
Use Cases
Scale Trail Driving & Outdoor Crawling: Used by scale RC hobbyists to drive across garden paths, dirt trails, and scale obstacle courses using low-gear torque and portal axle ground clearance.
Military Dioramas & Scale Photography: Perfect for historical WWII displays, 1/12 action figure pairing, and outdoor cinematic photo shoots.
Indoor Precision Obstacle Driving: Ideal for tight indoor courses where precise 2-speed throttle control and independent suspension allow smooth maneuvering over obstacles.
STEM & Vintage Mechanical Learning: Excellent for students and builders exploring planetary differentials, independent trailing arm geometry, and micro belt drives.
