Retro Charm and Stunt Potential in the Tamiya 57826

The Tamiya 57826 Volkswagen Type 2 Wheelie pairs classic VW styling with oversized rear tyres for stunt-friendly action. Its compact 1/12 scale and quirky driver figure make it a standout on the track or display shelf.

Authentic Styling with Strong Materials

The VW Type 2 body is made from robust polycarbonate and arrives pre-painted for immediate use. The injection-moulded driver adds a touch of character while the shell resists everyday scuffs and knocks.

Chassis Built Around Wheelie Performance

Powered by the WR-02 chassis, this model uses a monocoque frame and 4-wheel double wishbone suspension to keep launches stable. The fully enclosed gearbox with bevel differential focuses drive to the rear wheels for purposeful wheelies.

Pre-Fitted Radio and Speed Control

Equipped with the Tamiya Finespec 2.4GHz radio system and a TEU-105BK ESC with BEC, the model arrives with key electronics in place so you can spend more time driving and less time setting up.
