Compact Classic Action: Tamiya 57826 Wheelie Bus

The Tamiya 57826 Volkswagen Type 2 Wheelie shrinks the iconic VW bus into a lively 1/12 ready-to-run machine. Large rear tyres and a novelty driver give it a distinct look and plenty of personality on concrete, tarmac or smooth dirt.

Classic Design with Robust Shell

The replica Type 2 body is produced in durable polycarbonate and supplied pre-painted so you can start running quickly. The moulded driver adds a playful touch while the finished shell resists everyday wear.

Stable WR-02 Platform for Stunts

Built on the WR-02 chassis, the model benefits from a heavy-duty monocoque frame and 4-wheel double wishbone suspension to maintain control during wheelies. The sealed gearbox and bevel differential concentrate drive to the rear wheels for consistent launches.

Factory-Fitted Radio and ESC

This unit arrives with the Tamiya Finespec 2.4GHz radio fitted and a TEU-105BK ESC with BEC installed, simplifying setup and allowing swift field time for both newcomers and experienced drivers.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/12
  • Chassis: WR-02
  • Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive
  • Suspension: 4-wheel double wishbone
  • Radio System: Tamiya Finespec 2.4GHz
  • ESC: TEU-105BK with BEC

Tamiya 57826 combines period styling with a purpose-built chassis for enjoyable wheelie runs and easy ownership.

It is best on smoother surfaces; the suspension provides compliance but deep ruts and rough terrain will limit wheelie control.
Charge a suitable 7.2V NiMH battery, check tyre condition and radio bind, then inspect gears and fasteners before driving.
Yes, upgrades like different tyres, tuned gearing or alternative motors are possible, but ensure compatibility with the WR-02 chassis layout.
