Black Beetle and Black Bug RTR power trucks:
 
The Black Beetle powers our GE diesel and can be used to power a wide variety of models from streetcars and small internal combustion locomotives to "critters". They use Mashima can motors and are available in different  gauges, wheelbases and wheel sizes (both disc and spoke). Wheelbases range from 25.5 mm to 40.0 mm in .25 mm increments. Wheels range from 9.6 mm to 14 mm in several different sizes and disc or spoke patterns.  Track gauges include HO/On30, On3, S and O. Black Beetles with 15:1 gear ratios are $79.95 and with 27:1 gear ratios $99.95. Due to the multiple combinations of wheelbase, gauge and wheels most must be special ordered which takes 2-3 weeks. Call or e-mail for additional information.
