Tamiya 47453 1/10 RC Volkswagen Type 2 T1 Flower Power Collector Kit  [47453]

Classic VW T1 Rendered as a Scale RC Model

If you love the vintage silhouette of the Volkswagen Type 2, Tamiya's 47453 kit recreates that charm at 1/10 scale. The Flower Power theme echoes the 1960s scene while the M-05 chassis gives the model nimble on-road traits.

Under the M-05 Shell

The M-05 is built around a slim monocoque frame that helps centralise mass and keep the centre of gravity low for steadier turns. The 239mm wheelbase delivers a controlled ride, making it a good match for both novices and experienced track-goers who want a retro racer.

Visuals and Sticker Options

This release includes a pre-painted polycarbonate shell in Tamiya PS-3 Light Blue plus separately moulded plastic parts for bumpers, light housings and mirrors. An updated decal sheet with period graphics allows personal touches to the Flower Power scheme.

Upgrades and Setup Tips

The M-05 supports many Hop-Up Option parts so you can refine handling or boost durability. Swapping out gears, upgrading the motor, or fitting better dampers are common ways to tailor performance to your driving style.

Tamiya 47453 Volkswagen Type 2 (T1) Flower Power is a great option for builders who want authentic retro styling with room to upgrade. It suits display collectors and drivers who enjoy a period-correct subject with modern parts support.
