Pre-Order Tamiya R/C Volkswagen Golf Mk2 GTI 16V Rally MF-01X - Item #58714

MF-01X

The 1980’s was the decade of the hot hatch back in automotive circles!

One of the many automakers that made hatchbacks popular was Volkswagen, and their MK2 GTI 16V was a favourite among automotive fans.

Tamiya has faithfully recreated the MK2 GTI as a rally race car as seen in A7 class competition.

The body is based on the MF-01 chassis as it’s at home on both asphalt and flat dirt running!

MF-01X - Compact 4WD At Home on a Range of Surfaces

Based around a tough monocoque frame with integrated gearboxes, this compact 4WD chassis gives a thrilling drive whether you take it on road or flat dirt surfaces.

It features a rear-mounted motor, with gear-driven rear wheels and a propeller shaft taking power to the front.

Both front and rear gearboxes have differential gears.

The battery pack location in the chassis centre secures excellent balance, while 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension employs friction dampers.

Rally Block tires with width/diameter of 27/69mm are also included.
