Tamiya 1/10 Scale MB-01 Volkswagen Golf Ii Gti 16V FWD/RWD with Brushed Motor Included

Bring an automotive icon to life with the Tamiya Volkswagen Golf II GTI 16V, a faithful 1/10 scale replica of the legendary hot hatch that defined the performance compact segment. Built on Tamiya’s innovative MB-01 chassis, this assembly kit delivers excellent handling, outstanding versatility, and an enjoyable building experience for hobbyists of all skill levels.

The detailed polycarbonate body accurately recreates the classic 1986 Golf II GTI 16V, complete with separate front and rear bumpers, side mirrors, and clear headlight and taillight lenses for exceptional scale realism.

One of the standout features of the MB-01 chassis is its modular design. It comes configured as a Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) vehicle to match the full-size Golf GTI, but it can also be converted to Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) by rearranging the drivetrain components. The chassis also supports multiple wheelbase and motor position configurations, making it one of Tamiya’s most versatile platforms for tuning and customization.
