The Tamiya Volkswagen Type 2 (T1) M-06 RC Car Kit captures the iconic charm of the beloved VW Bus. This 1/10 scale assembly kit recreates the classic lines and distinctive details of the first-generation Volkswagen van, bringing a piece of automotive history to life. The kit features the rear-wheel-drive M-06 chassis, mirroring the real Type 2 T1's rear-mounted engine and drivetrain configuration. This setup, combined with a longitudinally-mounted battery pack, provides optimal balance and a low centre of gravity for a fun and engaging driving experience. The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension and 3-piece steering linkage ensure responsive handling, while details like separate turn signals, round side mirrors, and dish wheels with plated components enhance the realism. For added authenticity, install separately sold LEDs in the front and rear lights. With its charming design and engaging performance, the Tamiya Volkswagen Type 2 (T1) M-06 is a delightful RC experience for builders and enthusiasts alike.
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.
