Tamyia 1/10 Scale MF-01X Volkswagen Beetle Rally Build Kit

Celebrate a true automotive icon with the Tamiya Volkswagen Beetle Rally, a 1/10 scale RC assembly kit inspired by the legendary Beetles that competed in rally events around the world from the 1950s through the 1980s. Built on Tamiya’s versatile MF-01X shaft-driven 4WD chassis, this model is designed to perform on both paved surfaces and light off-road terrain, making it an excellent choice for rally enthusiasts.

The lightweight polycarbonate body faithfully recreates the classic Volkswagen Beetle, featuring chrome-plated bumpers and side mirrors, rally-style auxiliary light pods, and authentic decals that capture the spirit of vintage rally racing. Rally block tires and increased ground clearance provide excellent grip and confidence on dirt, gravel, and asphalt alike.

The MF-01X chassis features a rear-mounted motor with a shaft-driven full-time 4WD drivetrain, delivering excellent traction and balanced handling. Its modular design also allows the chassis to be assembled in three different wheelbase configurations (S, M, or L) with the appropriate optional propeller shaft, making it a versatile platform for a variety of Tamiya M-Chassis bodies.
