Tamiya 58572-60A Retro Beetle 1/10 RC Assembly Kit (M-06)  [58572-60A]

Classic Beetle Lines Translated into Scale RC

The Volkswagen Beetle has a distinctive profile that crosses generations, and Tamiya reproduces that charm with the Tamiya 58572-60A 1/10 kit. Built on the M-06 platform, this rear-wheel-drive model balances vintage appearance with chassis features that suit on-road running.

Period Styling Meets Modern Chassis Workmanship

The model keeps the Beetle's familiar curves while incorporating the M-06's rear-motor, rear-wheel-drive layout for authentic handling. The kit is designed for hobbyists who enjoy assembly and custom setup. Chrome-look metal parts are supplied for bumpers, mirrors, and wheel trims to enhance realism.

Setup Advice for Better Handling

The M-06 benefits from a fully independent double wishbone suspension that delivers predictable on-road control. Replacing the friction dampers with oil-filled shocks and installing ball bearings in place of plastic bushings are common upgrades to sharpen performance.

Driving Character Compared to Other Tamiya Chassis

Compared to platforms such as the M-05, the rear-engine layout of the M-06 shifts weight distribution and produces a more Beetle-like steering response. This makes the M-06 a good pick for scale accuracy and a distinct driving experience.

Tamiya 58572-60A brings a faithful Beetle body to the versatile M-06 chassis, ideal for builders who want a classic look and tunable on-road dynamics.
