Tamiya 1/10 VW Golf II GTi (Incl ESC) MB-01 - 58748

The Tamiya 58748 1/10 scale VW Golf II GTi is a ready-to-assemble RC touring car built on Tamiya's MB-01 chassis, with an electronic speed controller included so you can get on the road sooner after adding your radio gear and battery. The MB-01 is a shaft-driven 4WD platform designed for smooth, flat surfaces such as tarmac and indoor tracks, making it well suited to scale road car models like the iconic Golf GTi. This kit is aimed at hobbyists comfortable with building from parts, as assembly is required before driving — the finished model rewards patience with a detailed, realistic recreation of the classic hot hatch.
