A link rod attached to the front right leg allows the horn to move right and left and when it bumps into an obstacle, the beetle automatically turns to avoid it. You can choose between 2 different running speeds. A reverse switch also allows backward movement. Clear switch with green transparent parts adds a cool, futuristic look. Run on flat, smooth surfaces. Avoid running over slopes or on bumpy roads. Enclose the beetle in 4 walls to have it run around in the same space.
