Retro Lines, Modern Drive: Tamiya 57923 Karmann Ghia

For modelers who value period styling and usable performance, the Tamiya 57923 - 1/10 RC XB Volkswagen Karmann Ghia on the M-06 frame presents a faithful miniature of the original while remaining suited to club circuits. The flowing bodywork captures the car's classic character without compromising agility.

How the M-06 Delivers Rear-Wheel Feel

The M-06 chassis is a compact rear-wheel-drive layout that helps centralize mass and improve turn-in. Its geometry rewards smooth inputs and gives drivers a genuine RWD experience that is fun on smooth tarmac or drift setups.

Scale Detail and Durable Construction

This version uses a tough polycarbonate body that maintains fine styling cues and a pre-applied finish. Interior and exterior touches provide authentic presentation for display or on-track use while keeping weight low.

What Makes the Tamiya 57923 Stand Out

Its combination of period-correct looks and a tuneable chassis makes the model appealing to modders and collectors alike. The M-06 platform accepts common hop-ups, letting owners tailor handling or performance to their driving style.

The Tamiya 57923 is well suited for hobbyists who collect classic bodies or who want a reliable RWD platform to develop driving and setup skills. Its simplicity and upgrade path make it a practical choice for many builders.

Yes, the rear-wheel-drive M-06 chassis is commonly used to learn throttle-based slides and weight transfer techniques on smooth surfaces.
Owners often upgrade shocks, tyres, and gear ratios first to sharpen handling or acceleration while keeping the basic chassis layout intact.
The factory paint on polycarbonate is durable for normal running; touch-ups or protective films can extend the finish when you race frequently.
