Description
Please Note:

This kit comes without an, ESC, Servo, Battery, Charger, or Transmitter and will come with a painted body that may require cutting 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 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-engined Type 2 T1. The M-06 chassis features a rear-mounted motor and rear-drive setup with a longitudinally-mounted battery pack, 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 tires at the front and 60D super grip tires at the rear, and a 3-piece steering linkage offers nimble handling response.

Rear Motor Placement
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
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
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
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.
