Quirky VW Fun with the Tamiya 57826 Wheelie Bus

The Tamiya 57826 Volkswagen Type 2 Wheelie captures the charm of the vintage VW microbus in a compact 1/12 package. Big rear tyres and a whimsical driver figure make it an attention-grabber at club days and local runs.

Classic Look Built for Everyday Use

The Type 2 body is moulded in robust polycarbonate and supplied pre-painted so you can run straight away. The injection-moulded driver is a fun detail, while the finished shell is resilient for casual bashing.

WR-02 Chassis That Handles Wheelies

Designed around the WR-02 platform, the model uses a heavy-duty monocoque frame and 4-wheel double wishbone suspension to maintain balance during wheelies. The closed gearbox with bevel gears sends power cleanly to the rear axle.

Ready Electronics and Speed Control

Out of the box you get the Tamiya Finespec 2.4GHz radio and a TEU-105BK ESC with BEC fitted, simplifying setup and letting you focus on driving and trimming performance to suit your style.
