Tamiya 84373 1/12 VW Type 2 T1 Wheelie Collector Kit  [84373]

Retro appeal of the Tamiya 84373 VW Type 2 T1

For hobbyists who value vintage looks and dependable handling, the Tamiya 84373 VW Type 2 T1 Wheelie brings the classic Bus profile into a compact, buildable RC package. The limited edition finish and authentic silhouette make it a standout on display or on short run sessions.

Historic design with on-road capability

The split-screen T1 captured the imagination of the 1950s and beyond. Tamiya recreates that charm while mounting the body on a WR-02 platform so it is more than a static model and can be driven with confidence on smooth surfaces.

WR-02 chassis and drivetrain notes

The WR-02 underpinnings focus on durability and approachable handling. The model features a sturdy monocoque frame and independent double wishbone suspension. The 2WD drivetrain driven by a 540-brushed motor gives predictable power delivery, while friction dampers and chevron-pattern rubber tyres help with traction on a variety of paved or flat dirt surfaces.

Assembly and limited edition touches

Builders will find the Tamiya 84373 rewarding to put together thanks to the partially assembled gearbox and motor pieces. The exclusive white chassis, silver metal-plated frame parts, and black metal-plated wheels add collector appeal without complicating the build process.

The Tamiya 84373 VW Type 2 T1 Wheelie is a great pick for collectors who like a touch of period style and for newcomers who want a straightforward assembly. Its mix of authentic looks and proven mechanics suits casual driving and display alike.
