Classic VW styling for M-Chassis builds

The Tamiya 51616 Volkswagen VW Type 2 T1 Body Parts Set brings authentic vintage looks to M-Chassis RC models. Built from 1.0mm polycarbonate, the shell balances toughness with lightweight handling so it stands up to street runs and casual parking lot sessions.

Authentic 23-window detailing and parts

The kit recreates the iconic 23-window Type 2 profile and supplies separate molded plastic components for bumpers, light housings and side mirrors to help you achieve a tidy, scale-correct finish. Included marking stickers and masking stickers make painting the polycarbonate far easier and produce sharp panel lines.

Designed for a 239mm wheelbase fit

This body set is cut to suit M-Chassis cars with a 239mm L wheelbase, ensuring correct clearance and mounting points for a neat installation. Whether replacing an old shell or upgrading the look of a build, this set fits purposefully and looks the part.

Yes. The Tamiya 51616 Volkswagen Type 2 T1 body is specified for M-Chassis cars with a 239mm L wheelbase. You may need to trim small body tabs around posts depending on your chassis layout.
Use polycarbonate-specific spray paint and apply several thin coats. Use the included masking stickers to protect windows and to create clean colour separations. Avoid aggressive solvents that can damage the plastic.
The bumper, light cases and mirror parts are supplied unpainted as molded plastic. They are ready for trimming, test fitting and painting to match your chosen scheme.
