Beetle Character Routed to Rally

The Tamiya 58650 Volkswagen Beetle Rally captures the character of the original Beetle and reshapes it for rally-style driving at 1/10 scale. The street-proven Beetle earned respect for its simplicity and robustness, and this kit mirrors that with a clean build process and resilient components.

MF-01X Chassis: Practical Four-Wheel Drive

The MF-01X shaft-driven 4WD provides a predictable platform across sealed roads and compact dirt tracks. Its balance of stability and control suits a wide range of drivers, while the accessible design makes adjustments and repairs straightforward.

Scale-Accurate Rally Body

Bodywork reproduces the Beetle's curved forms and rally graphics with care. The tough polycarbonate material keeps the shell looking good after running sessions and is well suited to customised paint and sticker work.

Handling Notes and Upgrades

Begin with the stock suspension settings, then fine-tune spring rates or camber to match your local surfaces. The MF-01X supports many common upgrade parts for those who want sharper response or higher durability.
