The Tamiya 58668-60A reproduces the first-generation Volkswagen Type 2 (T1) in accurate scale, celebrating the Bus that was manufactured from 1950 through 1967. Tamiya fits the classic body to the M-06L chassis to produce a rear-wheel-drive model with true-to-scale handling character.
The M-06L layout places the motor to the rear and the battery longitudinally to aid weight distribution, while radio gear sits to either side for balance. This arrangement gives a low centre of gravity and steady handling. Four-wheel double wishbone suspension and the supplied 60D radial and super grip tyres deliver reliable traction and composure on paved surfaces.
The kit features a polycarbonate body that faithfully renders the 23-window design, plus molded plastic parts for bumpers, lamp assemblies and side mirrors. Built on a 239mm wheelbase with metal-plated dish wheels, the model is driven by an included 540 motor.
The Tamiya 58668-60A Volkswagen Type 2 T1 suits enthusiasts who favour period-correct styling and dependable chassis dynamics, making it a rewarding build for scale fans and everyday RC driving.
