Tamiya 58668 Volkswagen Type 2 T1 M-06 Scale Bus Kit  [58668]

Classic VW Bus Recreated in RC Form

The Tamiya Volkswagen Type 2 T1 is a faithful scale tribute to the original 1950-1967 Volkswagen Bus. Tamiya captures the model's character and pairs it with the M-06 chassis to provide an authentic rear-wheel-drive dynamic that mirrors the real van's driving feel.

Rear-Motor M-06 Chassis Details

The M-06 chassis features a rear-mounted motor and a true RWD layout for realistic handling. A longitudinal battery position improves balance and lowers the centre of gravity. Four-wheel double wishbone suspension combined with 60D radial tyres at the front and 60D super grip tyres at the rear delivers predictable control across tarmac and smooth surfaces. A 3-piece steering linkage helps sharpen turn-in and reduces slop for more precise steering.

Accurate Bodywork and Attention to Detail

The Type 2 T1 body recreates the 23-window silhouette in durable polycarbonate, with separately moulded parts for the bumper, light cases and side mirrors. The model rides on metal-plated dish type wheels that complement the period look while remaining suitable for scale cruising or display.

This Tamiya Type 2 T1 on the M-06 chassis suits collectors and active hobbyists who appreciate authentic scale styling paired with rear-driven handling for enjoyable road sessions.
