Tamiya M-06 Volkswagen Type 2 T1 RC Van Electric 2WD 1/10 Scale Kit (No ESC)
Tamiya M-06 Volkswagen Type 2 T1 RC Van Electric 2WD 1/10 Scale Kit (No ESC)
This kit comes without an ESC, Servo, Battery, Charger, or Transmitter and will come with an unpainted body that may require cutting, painting and drilling.
This Tamiya R/C model assembly kit depicts the 1st-generation (T1) variant of the Volkswagen Type 2 van, introduced in 1950 and also known to its many fans as the Volkswagen Bus. Production of the actual van continued through until 1967. The iconic body is paired with the rear-wheel-drive M-06 chassis for realistic fun driving, just like the real rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive Type 2 T1.
The M-06 chassis features a rear-mounted motor and rear-drive setup with a longitudinally-mounted battery pack, with R/C radio gear positioned on either side for optimum balance and low centre of gravity. 4-wheel double wishbone suspension is equipped with 60D radial tyres at the front and 60D super grip tyres at the rear. A 3-piece steering linkage offers nimble handling response. Three different wheelbase lengths are accessible by switching the position of rear section parts.
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.

The rear-mounted motor, rear-wheel drive setup provides the model with exceptional traction at the rear.
The iconic body is paired with the rear-wheel drive M-06 chassis for realistic fun driving, just like the real RR Type 2 T1.

The rear of the model also shows off excellent attention to detail, including a separate bumper part.
