Vintage VW Bus Meets Modern RC Craftsmanship

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.

What the M-06 Chassis Brings to Driving

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.

Authentic Bodywork and Scale Details

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.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Chassis: M-06L
  • Wheelbase: 239mm
  • Motor: 540 Motor included
  • Electronic Speed Control (ESC): Not Included

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.

Assembly is moderate: the body and molded details are straightforward, but fitting the M-06 chassis and electronics requires basic modelling skills and patience with trims and paint.
You will need a 2-channel transmitter and receiver, a steering servo, an ESC, and a 7.2V battery pack with charger. Tamiya PS paint is recommended for the polycarbonate body.
Yes. The M-06 chassis and its tyres perform well on smooth asphalt, concrete and packed dirt. Avoid loose gravel as it can reduce traction and increase wear.
Aftermarket hop-ups like lightweight driveshafts, upgraded dampers and alternative wheel options are common for M-chassis models to refine handling and durability.
