Classic VW Bus Styling on a Purpose-Built M-06L Chassis

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.

M-06L Chassis: Balance and Low Centre of Gravity

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.

Scale Accuracy and Mechanical Details

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.

Yes, the kit is accessible to newcomers with some modelling experience; instructions are clear but you will need patience with body trimming, masking and fitting the chassis components.
You must supply a 2-channel transmitter and receiver, steering servo, ESC, a 7.2V battery pack and charger, plus suitable polycarbonate paints for finishing the body.
Regularly check drive shafts, gearbox lubrication and suspension pivots. Clean tyres and wheels after each run and inspect for worn parts to keep handling consistent.
Yes, alternative wheels and tyre compounds are common upgrades to tune grip and handling. Ensure compatibility with the 239mm wheelbase and wheel hex specifications when changing wheel sets.
