Please Note:
This kit comes without a Servo, Battery, Charger, or Transmitter and will come with an unpainted body that may require cutting and drilling.
This kit recreates a true classic in the form of the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. The Karmann Ghia was a stylish coupé based upon the same platform as the legendary Beetle. Its body was designed by Italian firm Ghia and manufactured by German company Karmann. The polycarbonate body in this replica sits on top of the Tamiya RWD M-06 chassis.
The M-06 chassis features a rear-mounted motor and rear-drive setup with a longitudinally-mounted battery pack, and R/C equipment positioned on either side for optimum balance and a low center of gravity. 4-wheel double wishbone suspension uses metal-plated wheels equipped with 60D radial tires at the front and 60D super grip tires at the rear. A 3-piece steering linkage offers nimble handling response. A large bumper is included.
Note
This body shell comes completely unpainted and may require body post holes to be drilled. Only use a polycarbonate-compatible paint such as the Tamiya PS series; standard paints will not adhere and may damage the body shell surface.

The M-06 places the motor at the rear and powers the rear wheels. This creates a unique, snappy handling experience, rewarding precision and encouraging playful drifts.

The M-06 offers multiple wheelbase options (210mm, 225mm, 239mm). This allows you to fine-tune the chassis to match the body shell you choose, enhancing both scale realism and handling characteristics. This version comes with the 225 mm chassis instructions.

The battery sits lengthwise in the centre of the chassis. This promotes excellent balance, weight distribution, and a low centre of gravity, giving the car a planted feel when throwing it around corners.

All four wheels feature independent double-wishbone suspension with oil-filled shocks. This system soaks up bumps for smooth handling on various surfaces.

The M-06 chassis is small in footprint, making it perfect for tight spaces or indoor tracks. Yet, its construction prioritises toughness for worry-free bashing.

Tamiya as well as a range of aftermarket companies offer a vast range of hop-up parts and bodies for the M-06. This lets you personalise everything from performance to looks, making your M-06 truly yours.

Verified buyerHave been collecting tamiya kits since I was 12. The service from hobbies direct was painless and well organised. Tamiya kits are always great. The only problem is there are so many to choose from and they are normally sold out very quickly.
