VOLKSWAGEN TYPE 2 (T1) (M-06 CHASSIS)

Length: 426 mm. Image shows painted and assembled kit.

A True Legend
This R/C model assembly kit recreates the “23-window” type of the much-loved first generation (T1) Volkswagen Type 2, known as the Volkswagen Bus to many of its legions of fans, with an accurate polycarbonate body in detailed 1/10 scale. Combined with classic style wheels and tread patterned tires, it is mounted on the rear-wheel drive M-06 chassis.

Great RR Performance from the M-06
The M-06 chassis features a rear-mounted motor, rear-drive setup and features a longitudinally-mounted battery pack, with R/C equipment positioned on either side for optimum balance and a low center of gravity. 4-wheel double wishbone suspension uses metal-plated wheels, equipped with 60D radial tires at the front and 60D super grip tires at the rear. In addition, a 3-piece steering linkage offers nimble handling response. A large bumper is included.
