1/9 Scale 2WD Buggy Chassis

Officially licensed by Volkswagen!

Following on from the hit Item 58719 1/10 R/C BBX (BB-01), Tamiya is very delighted to announce a brand new rear-wheel drive BB-02 buggy chassis! This R/C car assembly kit is inspired by Volkswagen Beetles which take part in American off-road races.

The chassis offers front suspension arm choices – double trailing arms or double wishbone arms, and features floor pan design motifs with front and rear tire housings to protect the model from dust and dirt.

Details such as window net, fire extinguisher, exhaust pipes and roll cage enhance realism, and driver and co-driver figures feature modern off-road race style. Get ready for this kit, which combines realistic looks and superlative off-road performance!

About the Model

• This is a 1/9 scale R/C model assembly kit. Length: 454mm, width: 204 (with front double trailing arms) / 225mm (with front double wishbone arms), height: 180mm. Wheelbase: 283mm.
• The newly-designed 1.0mm thick polycarbonate body recreates a race-oriented Beetle which features bulging front and rear fenders and removed rear engine hood
• The roll cage ensures chassis rigidity, and protects driver figures
• Light pods, front and tail lights are realistically captured
• Light cases moulded in black are included for attachment of separately sold LED lights
• Seated driver and co-driver figures with full-face helmets and dedicated arm parts are included
• Distinctive stickers are an original design for this kit
• Driver and co-driver (and their name stickers) are female
• Features realistic depictions of details such as window net, fire extinguisher, shift stick, steering wheel, air cleaner, pulley, muffler and exhaust pipes for extra realism

BB-02 Chassis

• The rear-wheel drive BB-02 chassis has floor pan design motifs with front and rear tire housings to protect the model from dust.
• The R/C equipment box is positioned under driver and co-driver figures.
• Features a lengthwise battery pack with the motor at the rear for optimum balance.
• The sealed gearbox has a built-in ball differential, and drive shafts have joint boots for reliable off-road performance.
• 4-wheel independent suspension uses front double trailing arms or double wishbone arms, and rear trailing arms (front double wishbone and rear trailing arms are from Item 58719 1/10 R/C BBX (BB-01))
• Front double trailing arms: common suspension on full-size vehicles / longer arms and increased stroke / stable, straight line performance / suited to flat dirt surfaces
• Front double wishbone arms: common on unlimited class vehicles / long arms give superlative ground-hugging / stable jumps / suited to off-road courses
• Adaptive dampers limit oil leakage. As the piston moves the oil seal changes shape and air passes through the hole, reducing oil leakage.
• The battery pack can be installed from the bottom of the chassis by opening its hatch
• Hex hub wheels are paired with front rib pattern tyres for directional stability and rear square spike tyres for high grip (hex hub wheel shape is the same as that of Item 58719 1/10 R/C BBX (BB-01), and tyres are from Item 58719 1/10 R/C BBX (BB-01))
