Tamiya 47453 1/10 Scale VW Type 2 T1 Flower Power M-05 Kit  [47453]

Vintage VW Type 2 T1 As a Detailed RC Kit

Bring the classic Volkswagen Type 2 back to life with Tamiya's 47453, a 1/10 scale kit that celebrates the Flower Power era. The model rides on the compact M-05 chassis to provide predictable, user-friendly handling.

Details of the M-05 Platform

The M-05 features a slim monocoque frame engineered for good weight balance and a low centre of gravity, which helps maintain stability through corners. Its 239mm wheelbase makes the setup well suited to both casual hobby runs and organised club events.

Flower Power Styling and Parts

The kit arrives with a pre-painted polycarbonate body in Tamiya PS-3 Light Blue and separate injection parts for the bumper, light cases and mirrors. A new sticker sheet with period motifs is included so you can personalise the look.

Personalisation and Performance Mods

Owners can fit many Hop-Up Option parts to the M-05 to improve acceleration, handling or durability. Common upgrades include motor swaps, suspension tweaks and gear changes to fine tune on-road behaviour.

The Tamiya 47453 Volkswagen Type 2 (T1) Flower Power kit is ideal for builders who value authentic looks and tweakable performance. It sits comfortably between display appeal and practical on-road use.
