Tamiya 47308 Volkswagen Golf Racing Group 2 on M-05 Chassis  [47308]

Reliving the Glory of European Touring Cars with Tamiya's M-05 Chassis

The Tamiya 47308 Volkswagen Golf Racing Group 2 is a tribute to the classic era of European touring car racing. This 1/12 scale model replicates the iconic Kamei-liveried VW Golf Mk.1, renowned for its participation in the Group 2 class during the 1970s. With its distinctive wide fenders and sporty spoiler, this RC kit offers an authentic racing experience on the proven M-05 chassis.

Performance and Build: Why the M-05 Chassis Stands Out

The M-05 chassis is celebrated for its simplicity and performance. As a front-wheel-drive platform, it features a lightweight and narrow semi-monocoque resin frame that ensures durability while maintaining an easy assembly process. The strategic placement of the gearbox, motor, battery pack, receiver, servo, and ESC enhances weight distribution, contributing to a low center of gravity that supports stable high-speed cornering. The independent double wishbone suspension paired with friction dampers offers exceptional handling, making it a favorite among RC enthusiasts who appreciate precision and control.

Customization and Upgrades: Tailor Your Racing Experience

One of the significant advantages of the M-05 platform is its adaptability. Enthusiasts can explore a wide range of aftermarket parts to upgrade their models as they advance in skill. From performance tires to enhanced suspension components, the possibilities for customization are vast, allowing hobbyists to fine-tune their vehicles to match personal preferences or specific track conditions.

The Tamiya 47308 Volkswagen Golf Racing Group 2 is perfect for both newcomers to the RC world and seasoned racers. Its combination of historical significance, ease of assembly, and potential for upgrades make it a versatile choice for anyone looking to delve into the world of RC racing.
