Tamiya 84373 1/12 VW Type 2 T1 Wheelie Limited Run Kit  [84373]

Vintage looks with modern Tamiya 84373 components

The Tamiya 84373 VW Type 2 T1 Wheelie brings the beloved Bus styling into a compact RC kit that is both displayable and drivable. The special edition finish adds visual flair while staying true to the model's retro heritage.

Design heritage paired with usable performance

The split-window T1 has long been a favourite for its distinctive shape. Tamiya adapts that design onto a WR-02 chassis, letting enthusiasts enjoy a period-correct body mounted on a platform meant for light running and handling.

Key chassis details and on-track behaviour

The WR-02 chassis uses a strong monocoque frame with fully independent double wishbone suspension to maintain predictable wheel control. The 2WD arrangement driven by a 540-brushed motor supplies steady propulsion, and the friction dampers plus chevron-tread tyres help maintain traction on hard surfaces.

Assembly notes and special edition styling

Assembly rewards builders with a mix of pre-assembled elements and hands-on finishing. Special edition parts such as the white chassis, silver plated frame bits and black plated wheels offer a distinctive appearance while keeping the build process straightforward.

The Tamiya 84373 VW Type 2 T1 Wheelie is suited to kit builders who like classic aesthetics and an uncomplicated build that still delivers enjoyable running sessions.
