Tamiya Volkswagen Beetle MF-01X RC Rally Car Kit 1/10 Scale - 58650

The Tamiya 1/10 scale Volkswagen Beetle Rally kit (TAM58650) builds a detailed 4WD radio control rally car on the MF-01X chassis, combining a classic Beetle body with genuine rally-ready running gear. This is a kit build, not a ready-to-run model — assembly is required, making it a rewarding project for intermediate to experienced RC builders. The MF-01X platform uses a mid-motor layout with 4WD drive train, designed to handle loose and mixed-surface terrain typical of rally driving. The iconic Volkswagen Beetle shell gives the finished model an instantly recognisable look that stands out on and off the track.
