TAMIYA VW Golf MK.1 Racing GRP.2 M-05 Kit 1:10 NO ESC – T47308A

This is the Tamiya Volkswagen Golf MK.1 GRP.2 1/10 On Road Kit. Using a Kamei-sponsored Volkswagen Golf MK.1 polycarbonate body, Tamiya has recreated this racing icon. The Golf MK.1 became an instant classic when it was released in 1974 as customers found this sporty hatch was a more than just another compact car. Soon the Golf MK.1 found it’s way to racetracks and the legend was born. This Kamei-sponsored livery brings back the glory days of competition for the Golf MK.1.

This high performance body sits atop Tamiya’s M-05 FWD chassis platform, which is easy to assemble and provides nimble and responsive front wheel drive handling characteristics. The M-05 is a simple to build front wheel drive machine, which allows for plenty of after-market parts to be outfitted as you grow with your skill. The lightweight, narrow, semi-monocoque frame offers an optimized weight distribution and a low center of gravity. A ground-hugging 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension and a 3-piece steering linkage ensure excellent stability during high-speed cornering. Three wheelbase lengths (210mm, 225mm, 239mm) are possible by simply switching the position of the rear suspension parts, enabling a wide range of body choices available from Tamiya. This specific kit includes a Hobbywing THW-1060 Brushed ESC for incredible performance.
