VOLKSWAGEN KARMANN GHIA (M-06 CHASSIS)

Length: 410mm. Image shows painted and assembled kit.

A Classy Ride
1955 was the debut of the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, which combined a Volkswagen chassis with a 2+2coupe body designed by Italian outfit Ghia and manufactured in Germany by Karmann. An air cooled flat-four engine in the back powered the rear wheels, and its fusion of looks, low ride height and affordable price tag made it a popular model that still retains a fan base in the modern day. This radio control model assembly kit depicts the car in 1/10 scale. The elegant lines of the low-slung car are accurately recreated by a polycarbonate body, with separately molded metal-plated light case, bumper and side mirror parts adding extra realism.

Great RR Performance from the M-06
The M-06 chassis features a rear-mounted motor, rear-drive setup and has 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.
