Tamiya 58572-60A Volkswagen Beetle 1/10 RC Assembly Kit (M-06 Chassis)  [58572-60A]

Iconic Beetle Styling Rendered in Scale

The Volkswagen Beetle has been an automotive icon for decades, and Tamiya recreates that familiar shape with the Tamiya 58572-60A 1/10 kit. Mounted on the M-06 chassis, this model provides a rear-wheel-drive layout that adds to scale realism and driving character.

Period-Correct Appearance with Contemporary Chassis

This kit merges the Beetle's classic bodywork with the M-06's rear-motor, rear-wheel-drive design to offer a convincing blend of looks and handling. The assembly format lets builders personalise components, and metal-plated parts are fitted for bumpers, mirrors, and wheels to enhance authenticity.

Chassis Setup and Upgrade Suggestions

The M-06 benefits from fully independent double wishbone suspension, which suits paved surfaces and model circuits. Swapping the supplied friction dampers for oil-filled units and replacing plastic bushings with ball bearings are common ways to reduce friction and improve responsiveness.

M-06 Versus Other Tamiya Platforms

Against other Tamiya chassis such as the M-05, the M-06's rear-engine layout shifts the handling balance to more closely resemble the original Beetle. That difference gives a unique driving feel attractive to scale enthusiasts and competitive club drivers alike.

For collectors and builders seeking a classic silhouette with a rewarding chassis build, the Tamiya 58572-60A Volkswagen Beetle kit on the M-06 makes a fine addition to any RC collection.
