Tamiya 58668 Volkswagen Type 2 T1 M06 Chassis Collector Kit  [58668]

Vintage VW Character with Modern RC Chassis

The Volkswagen Type 2 T1 has been recreated to reflect the original van's iconic silhouette and presence. Tamiya integrates the M-06 chassis to reproduce rear-motor behaviour, delivering driving dynamics that feel familiar to the classic layout.

M-06 Chassis: Balance and Handling

The M-06 features a rear-mounted motor and RWD setup for a genuine rear-driven feel. Placing the battery longitudinally helps balance the chassis and lower the centre of mass. The double wishbone suspension on all four corners combined with 60D front radial tyres and 60D super grip rear tyres yields stable handling, while the 3-piece steering linkage tightens response for more confident cornering.

Detailed Scale Features and Finishes

The 23-window body is moulded in resilient polycarbonate with separate plastic fittings for bumpers, light lenses and mirrors. Metal-plated dish wheels enhance the model's period appeal and complement both display setups and road running.

This Tamiya Type 2 T1 is aimed at modellers who want authentic styling with a rear-driven chassis that handles predictably during relaxed road sessions or light club events.
