Character and craft of the Tamiya 84373 VW Type 2 T1

Combining iconic styling with practical chassis engineering, the Tamiya 84373 VW Type 2 T1 Wheelie recreates the classic Bus look in a compact RC kit that is enjoyable to build and run. The limited edition trim gives it a refined display presence.

Iconic bodywork matched to usable chassis

The T1 Splitscreen is a symbol of a bygone era and this model keeps its familiar lines while fitting them to a WR-02 platform that supports actual driving performance rather than pure static display.

Chassis specification and handling characteristics

The WR-02 chassis features a sturdy monocoque frame and fully independent double wishbone suspension for controlled movement of the wheels. With a 540-brushed motor propelling the 2WD setup, the kit provides steady acceleration and the friction dampers plus chevron-pattern tyres aid stability on suitable surfaces.

Construction experience and exclusive parts

Construction balances pre-assembled components with hands-on tasks so builders of varying experience can enjoy the process. Special edition elements such as the white chassis, silver metal-plated frame and black metal-plated wheels supply added visual appeal for collectors.

Tamiya 84373 VW Type 2 T1 Wheelie suits those who want a faithful scale profile paired with straightforward assembly and dependable running for club meets or home sessions.

Basic modelling tools like a small driver set, nippers, fine files and masking tape will cover most assembly tasks.
The kit is supplied with a 540-brushed motor setup; fitting LiPo or brushless systems may be possible but requires checking space, mounts and gearing compatibility.
Regular inspection of bearings, cleaning of dirt and occasional lubrication of gears will keep the WR-02 running smoothly.
Polycarbonate bodies need the correct paints and masking; wash and degrease before painting and use light coats for best results.
