Tamiya 58748 - 1/10 Volkswagen Golf II GTi 16V Collector RC Kit (MB-01 Chassis)  [58748]

Recreate a Period Favourite in 1/10 Scale

The Tamiya Volkswagen Golf II GTI 16V kit reproduces an iconic hatchback in detailed scale, offering authentic body lines and trim. The MB-01 chassis provides a solid foundation for builders who enjoy accurate detailing and step-by-step assembly, while allowing room for performance adjustments.

MB-01 Chassis: Practical and Adaptable

Tamiya designed the MB-01 to be modular and user-friendly, encouraging setup changes without excessive complexity. The front motor with front-wheel drive mirrors the real car's layout. The chassis also permits a change to rear-wheel drive by altering gears and linkage positions, so the drive characteristics can be tailored.

Driving Characteristics and Scale Finishing

The chassis uses independent double wishbone suspension to maintain tyre contact and predictable steering on paved surfaces. The included powertrain elements reference a 540-Type Torque Tuned brushed motor and a Hobbywing ESC for dependable throttle control. The polycarbonate body and fitted moldings for mirrors and bumpers add to the model's faithful presentation.

Combining accurate styling with a chassis designed for progression, the Tamiya Volkswagen Golf II GTI 16V appeals to modellers and racers who want a realistic, adaptable RC project.
