Iconic Hot Hatch in 1/10 Scale

Celebrating the MK2 GTI 16V era, this kit reproduces the classic hatchback lines at 1/10 scale while mounting them on a chassis designed for mixed-surface driving. Tamiya 58714-60A gives hobbyists an authentic shell with a practical platform for everyday running and casual competition.

All-Round MF-01X Chassis Details

The MF-01X chassis features a compact monocoque frame and a 4WD configuration that balances durability and handling. Its rear motor installation drives the back gearbox directly, with a prop shaft transferring torque forward, and both ends use differential gears to smooth traction changes.

Balanced Layout for Tuning

With a centrally located battery compartment for improved weight distribution and independent double wishbone suspension on each corner, the car provides predictable responses to setup changes. Friction dampers deliver basic shock control while leaving room for hop-up upgrades.

Tamiya 58714-60A is a smart pick for modellers who want a believable retro body paired with a chassis ready for tuning and regular running on mixed surfaces.

Basic modelling tools like side cutters, hobby knife, screwdrivers and paint for the body are enough. A small set of metric hex drivers will help with assembly and tuning.
The stock MF-01X driveline is durable for casual club use. Increasing pinion/spur quality and upgrading bearings will improve longevity under harder driving.
Choose on-road tyres for tarmac and semi-knobby tyres for compact dirt or grass. Tyre diameter and width should match the wheel wells for a correct stance.
Yes, the polycarbonate body is painted from the inside using Tamiya PS paint. Wheels can be detailed with enamel or acrylic for a realistic finish.
