Classic Volkswagen Beetle Captured in Scale

The Tamiya 58383 reproduces the Volkswagen Beetle as a detailed 1/10 scale model that celebrates the car's distinctive silhouette and engineering heritage. Built with hobbyists and collectors in mind, this kit evokes the Beetle's long production history and cultural presence.

M04L Chassis and Driving Feel

The Tamiya 58383 Volkswagen Beetle RC kit uses the M04L monocoque chassis, designed to house a mid-ship type 540 motor for balanced weight distribution. The rear-wheel-drive layout and 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension with lightweight uprights deliver predictable handling and stable road manners across varied surfaces.

Authentic Shell and Scale Details

Tamiya has recreated the Beetle body in durable polycarbonate to capture the model's curves and profile. Realistic touches such as metal-plated bumpers and side mirrors enhance scale accuracy and visual authenticity for display or running sessions.

Yes, many builders fit compact brushless motors and matching ESCs, but you should check space and gear ratio compatibility with the mid-ship layout before upgrading.
The polycarbonate shell is resilient and can handle regular outdoor use, though care around impacts and sharp obstacles will preserve paint and plated trim.
