Tamiya 58668-60A 1/10 Volkswagen VW Type 2 T1 RC Kit M-06 Chassis (W/O ESC)  [58668-60A]

Timeless VW Bus Styling Fitted to a Modern M-06 Chassis

The Tamiya 58668-60A captures the charm of the Volkswagen Type 2 (T1), the beloved Bus produced from 1950 until 1967. Tamiya marries the period-correct body with the M-06 chassis to produce a rear-wheel-drive model that looks the part and behaves predictably on the road.

Chassis Layout and Handling Highlights

The M-06 platform features a rear-mounted motor orientation and a longitudinal battery placement that helps centralise mass. Radio gear sits neatly to each side for balance, and the low centre of gravity aids cornering. Four-wheel double wishbone suspension and 60D radial plus super grip tyres keep handling composed across different surfaces.

Detailed Finish and Mechanical Backbone

This kit includes a polycarbonate body that faithfully reproduces the 23-window configuration. Additional plastic parts provide bumpers, lamp covers and mirrors for scale fidelity. It uses a 239mm wheelbase, metal-plated dish wheels, and is driven by an included 540 motor.

Tamiya 58668-60A is well suited to builders who enjoy nostalgic bodies on a competent chassis. It provides a satisfying driving experience and leaves room for common M-chassis upgrades.
