Description
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.

The Tamiya Volkswagen Karmann Ghia M-06 RC Car Kit recreates the timeless elegance of this classic coupé. Based on the same platform as the legendary Beetle, the Karmann Ghia features a stylish body designed by Italian firm Ghia and manufactured by German company Karmann. 1 This 1/10 scale assembly kit captures the car's iconic design with a detailed polycarbonate body. The Karmann Ghia is brought to life on the agile M-06 chassis, featuring a rear-mounted motor and rear-wheel drive for a realistic driving experience. The longitudinally-mounted battery pack and well-balanced design provide a low centre of gravity and excellent handling. With 4-wheel double wishbone suspension, metal-plated wheels, and a 3-piece steering linkage, this RC car delivers a nimble and responsive performance. Rediscover the allure of the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia with this captivating RC model.  

Rear Motor Placement

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.

Adjustable Wheelbase

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.

Lengthwise Mounted Battery Tray

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.

Double Wishbone Suspension

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

Compact and Durable Design

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.

Aftermarket & OEM support

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.

Have 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.
