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.

Basic modelling tools such as side cutters, hobby knife, small screwdrivers, and masking tape are sufficient, with optional files and sanding gear for neat body trimming.
The rubber radial tyres are suitable for smooth on-road surfaces, though compound swaps can improve grip for racing or specific track surfaces.
The kit is supplied without an ESC, and the motor specification calls for a 540-brushed type which you will need to source separately.
Regularly check drive shafts, clean and lubricate moving parts, and inspect bushings or bearings for wear to keep performance consistent.
