Step into RC with the Tamiya 58668-60A, a finely modelled tribute to the first-generation Volkswagen Type 2 (T1). Familiarly known as the Volkswagen Bus, this model reflects the vehicle produced from 1950 to 1967, and mounts that timeless silhouette on the M-06 chassis to deliver an authentic rear-wheel-drive driving feel.
The M-06 chassis is optimised for rear-mounted motor, rear-drive layouts. A longitudinal battery tray and radio gear positioned along the centre provide a low centre of gravity and balanced handling. Four-wheel double wishbone suspension smooths out corners and bumps, while 60D radial and super grip tyres give traction that feels natural on varied surfaces.
The Tamiya Volkswagen Type 2 T1 kit includes a detailed polycarbonate body that reproduces the classic 23-window arrangement. Molded plastic components for bumpers, light cases and mirrors add realism. The model sits on a 239mm wheelbase with metal-plated dish wheels and is driven by a sturdy 540 motor.
The Tamiya 58668-60A Volkswagen Type 2 T1 appeals to hobbyists who value classic looks backed by reliable chassis dynamics. Its combination of straightforward assembly and predictable handling makes it suitable for collectors, beginners and seasoned RC drivers.
