Tamiya RC VW Golf II GTI 16V - Pre-Painted Body Limited Edition - MB-01 - Item #47516

1/10 Scale 2WD

For a limited time only: The limited-edition version of the kit includes the polycarbonate body pre-painted in Bright Red (PS-34) with Smoke (PS-31) windows, pre-cut wheel arches and pre-made body mount holes, which is great for not only beginners but also R/C veterans.

Here is another R/C kit with the MB-01 chassis – this time, long wheelbase and front motor / front-wheel drive (FF). The FF drivetrain Golf is one of Volkswagen’s most iconic cars. From its first appearance in 1974, the Volkswagen Golf has continued to develop and lead the worldwide compact car class.

In 1986, the Golf II GTI 16V was added to the second-generation model Golf II lineup which had made its debut in 1983. With a 1,781cc inline-4 DOHC 16-valve engine, a tuned car took part in global rally races, in 1986 becoming class champion.

The MB-01 Chassis

The compact, 2WD MB-01 chassis gives a choice of three types of wheelbases, and front- or rear- wheel drive system.

This model employs a midship motor, rear-wheel drive setup. Without removing battery pack, motor, and R/C equipment setups from the centre frame, simply change attachment directions of final gears and steering linkage to switch between front- and rear-wheel drive; low or high motor position can be chosen for rear-wheel drive cars.

The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension features symmetrical structure and friction dampers. Unitised sections such as motor mount, final gears and suspension facilitate ease of assembly and effective maintenance
