The 1980s hot hatch era lives on in this faithful 1/10 scale rally replica. Tamiya 58714-60A channels the character of the Volkswagen MK2 GTI 16V into a compact model that blends scale detail with rally-ready capability. Built for both paved laps and loose surfaces, it appeals to builders and drivers who value authenticity and tuning potential.
At the core of this kit is the MF-01X chassis, a monocoque-based 4WD layout that balances strength and serviceability. The rear-mounted motor drives the rear gearbox directly while a prop shaft transmits power to the front, and differential gears front and rear help keep traction predictable on a variety of tracks.
Battery placement is centred to aid balance and handling, and the independent double wishbone suspension on all four corners, paired with friction dampers, soaks up bumps whether youre running on tarmac or a gravel patch. The overall engineering makes this Tamiya 58714-60A an adaptable platform for upgrades and play.
This Tamiya 58714-60A kit combines period-correct styling with a chassis that handles both street and dirt, making it a solid choice for model builders and weekend racers looking for a versatile classic.
