Period-Correct MK2 GTI Model

This compact 1/10 scale model captures the look of the MK2 GTI 16V while offering practical running characteristics. Tamiya 58714-60A combines authentic styling with a chassis that is straightforward to build and enjoyable to drive on both smooth and loose surfaces.

MF-01X: Compact Yet Capable

The MF-01X chassis uses a monocoque frame and a 4WD arrangement that aims for a mix of robustness and simple maintenance. The rear-mounted motor connects to the rear gearbox and a prop shaft sends drive to the front; differentials at each end help with cornering stability and traction control.

Smart Layout for Everyday Use

A central battery bay ensures balanced handling and the four independent double wishbone arms with friction dampers provide consistent shock absorption. These features make the Tamiya 58714-60A a flexible base for modest upgrades or regular club use.
