Tamiya 58668 23-Window Volkswagen Type 2 T1 M-06 Kit  [58668]

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.

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.
