Fans of the classic Volkswagen Type 2, often called the Hippy Bus, will appreciate how Tamiya's 47453 recreates that era in a compact 1/10 RC kit. The Flower Power livery captures the 1960s vibe while the kit is built on the well-known M-05 platform for dependable on-road handling.
The M-05 uses a lightweight monocoque frame that helps centralize mass and lower the center of gravity for stable cornering. With a 239mm wheelbase and compact footprint, the chassis balances agility and predictability, making it suitable for newcomers and more experienced drivers who like a retro subject.
This edition ships with a pre-painted polycarbonate body in Tamiya PS-3 Light Blue and includes separate molded plastic parts for the bumper, light cases, and mirrors. A fresh sticker sheet with period graphics lets you personalise the bus to match the classic Flower Power look.
Hobbyists who like to tweak performance will find the M-05 accepts a wide range of Hop-Up Option parts. Upgrades for motor, suspension and drivetrain components let you improve speed, handling, and robustness while keeping the kit's vintage character.
The Tamiya 47453 Volkswagen Type 2 (T1) Flower Power kit is a solid pick for builders who want vintage styling with straightforward assembly and room to upgrade. It suits collectors and RC drivers seeking a nostalgic subject with modern hobby support.
