Tamiya 1/10 Volkswagen Golf II GTI 16V MB-01 2WD Touring Car Kit
- SKU:
- 58748
- Brand:
- Tamiya
The FF drivetrain Golf is one of Volkswagen’s most iconic cars. From its first appearance in 1974, the Volkswagen Golf has continued to develop and lead the worldwide compact car class. In 1986, the Golf II GTI 16V was added to the second-generation model Golf II lineup which had made its debut in 1983. With a 1,781cc inline-4 DOHC 16-valve engine, a tuned car took part in global rally races, in 1986 becoming class champion. This R/C model assembly kit recreates that car, with the iconic form captured by a polycarbonate body and separate parts for headlight cases plus side mirrors. Stickers are included to add further detail to the body.
The kit is based on the beginner friendly and highly customizable BT-01 chassis, which allows hobbyists to grow as their driving and building skills develop. Like the full-size car it depicts, the chassis configuration on the MB-01 chassis is set up in the front motor, front drive configuration for unparalleled realism.
The MB-01 Chassis
The compact, 2WD MB-01 chassis gives a choice of three types of wheelbase, and front- or rear- wheel drive system. This model employs a front-wheel drive setup. Without removing battery pack, motor and R/C equipment setups from the center frame, simply change attachment directions of final gears and steering linkage to switch between front- and rear-wheel drive; low or high motor position can be chosen for rear-wheel drive cars. The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension features symmetrical structure and friction dampers. Unitized sections such as motor mount, final gears and suspension facilitate ease of assembly and effective maintenance.
Key Features:
- Polycarbonate body
- Separate plastic parts molded in black realistically depict side mirrors and bumpers
- Separate transparent parts capture headlights and taillights
- Porous dish wheels are paired with radial tires
- Includes 540-Type Torque Tuned brushed motor and Hobbywing produced ESC
