Scale-Accurate 23-Window VW Bus in RC Form

The Volkswagen Type 2 T1 is modelled with attention to period proportions and charm. Tamiya combines this body with the M-06 chassis to reproduce the rear-engine driving traits of the original van, delivering a true-to-scale on-road experience.

M-06 Chassis Fundamentals

With a rear-mounted motor and RWD architecture, the M-06 chassis closely echoes the handling balance of the classic vehicle. The longitudinal battery position improves overall weight distribution and lowers the centre of gravity, while the four-wheel double wishbone suspension and the mix of 60D radial front tyres and 60D super grip rear tyres produce stable, predictable handling. The 3-piece steering linkage refines steering accuracy for tighter control.

Fine Details and Durable Construction

The durable polycarbonate 23-window body is complemented by separately moulded plastic parts for bumpers, light housings and mirrors. Metal-plated dish wheels add a neat finishing touch suitable for both display and gentle road running.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Chassis: M-06L, 239mm wheelbase
  • Motor: 540 motor included
  • ESC: Included
  • Tires: 60D radial (front), 60D super grip (rear)

The Tamiya Type 2 T1 on the M-06 chassis is well suited to collectors and drivers who want classic styling with rear-driven handling that is enjoyable and approachable.

The kit is accessible for those with some modelling experience; clear instructions and included electronics like the ESC make assembly straightforward while still offering tuning options.
Smooth tarmac and sealed car parks are ideal for the M-06 setup, where the tyre compounds and suspension can deliver predictable grip and crisp handling.
Common maintenance parts and replacement components are usually available through Tamiya dealers and hobby suppliers; check for tyre, body and drivetrain spares if you plan regular use.
