Tamiya 84316 1/12 RC Volkswagen Golf Mk.1 Group 2 Street Racer Kit  [84316]

Retro Touring Car Replica: Volkswagen Golf Mk.1 Group 2

The Golf Mk.1 earned a reputation in touring car racing thanks to nimble handling and simple, effective setups. Tamiya 84316 brings that classic silhouette to the RC scene, providing a compact model that mirrors the original's driving feel. Mounted on the M-05 chassis, the model uses a front-wheel-drive configuration and benefits from a low centre of gravity for stable road performance.

M-05 Chassis: Simple Base with Upgrade Paths

The M-05 platform is known for being easy to work on while offering space for progressive upgrades. Its layout promotes balanced handling and predictable responses, which makes it a reliable choice for those learning setup techniques or experimenting with parts changes.

Drive System and Key Parts

This kit comes with a 540-brushed motor and TEU-105BK ESC for controlled acceleration. The fully independent double wishbone suspension combined with friction plastic dampers delivers a scaled handling feel, and the polycarbonate body accurately represents the Golf Mk.1 lines.

The Tamiya 84316 Volkswagen Golf Mk.1 Grp.2 is a practical platform for on-road enthusiasts who want an authentic vintage racer that is easy to maintain and personalise.
