Playful Wheelie Style from the Tamiya 57826 VW Type 2

The Tamiya 57826 Volkswagen Type 2 Wheelie brings a playful take on the classic VW bus, scaled down to 1/12 for backyard and park fun. Oversized rear tyres and a comical driver figure give this ready-to-run model a lot of personality for casual drives and meetups.

Retro Styling and Tough Construction

Styled after the original Type 2 T1, the body is moulded from durable polycarbonate and arrives pre-painted and ready to mount. The included injection-moulded driver adds character while the tough shell stands up to bumps and light knocks.

Wheelie-Focused WR-02 Chassis

Underneath, the WR-02 chassis is built for wheelies and stability. A robust monocoque frame works with a 4-wheel double wishbone suspension to keep things planted, while the enclosed gearbox and bevel gear differential drive the rear wheels for controlled launches.

Onboard Radio and ESC

This kit comes with the Tamiya Finespec 2.4GHz radio system pre-installed and a TEU-105BK ESC with BEC already fitted, making setup simple for new drivers while still giving fine throttle response for experienced pilots.

Tamiya 57826 is a great pick for hobbyists who want an eye-catching, easy-to-use wheelie truck with authentic styling and ready-to-run electronics.

The pre-installed radio and ESC make it accessible for beginners, while the chassis and tuning room keep experienced drivers engaged.
Yes, you can fit alternative rims and rubber of the same diameter to change traction or the look, but check hub fitment first.
This model accepts a 7.2V NiMH pack sold separately; choose a compact pack that fits the chassis battery tray for best balance.
Although it arrives pre-painted, the polycarbonate shell can be reworked with hobby paints and decals if you prefer a personalised finish.
