Reviving the Rally Legend: Tamiya's Volkswagen Beetle

The Tamiya 58650-60A pays homage to the iconic Volkswagen Beetle, a car that has left its mark in the rally world from the 1950s through the 1980s. Known for its distinctive rounded design and robust rear-mounted flat 4 engine, the Beetle was a reliable choice for rally enthusiasts. This RC kit captures that spirit with a lightweight polycarbonate body and metal-plated parts for bumpers and mirrors, bringing to life the classic Beetle silhouette.

MF-01X Chassis: Versatile and Ready for Action

The MF-01X chassis is designed for adaptability across various terrains. Its monocoque frame integrates gearboxes, providing a sturdy base for both on-road and off-road adventures. With a rear-mounted motor and gear-driven rear wheels, power is efficiently transferred via a propeller shaft to the front, ensuring balanced performance. The inclusion of differential gears in both the front and rear gearboxes enhances handling, while the central battery placement optimizes balance.

Engineering Details and Driving Experience

This model boasts a 239mm wheelbase, offering a stable ride with its 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension cushioned by friction dampers. The rally block tires ensure excellent grip on dirt surfaces, making it ideal for those who enjoy off-road challenges. The MF-01X chassis can be adjusted to three different wheelbases, providing flexibility for customization and performance tuning.
