Classic Beetle Reborn for Rally Use

The Tamiya 58650 Volkswagen Beetle Rally brings a well-loved classic into rally form at 1/10 scale. The original Beetle earned a reputation for rugged reliability on early rally stages, and this model channels that history into a compact R/C kit with plainspoken engineering and durable construction.

MF-01X Platform: Versatile 4WD

At its core the MF-01X is a shaft-driven 4WD that handles both roads and firm off-road tracks with composure. It offers a steady balance between stability and responsiveness, making it suitable for club-level fun and casual competition. The straightforward assembly layout also keeps maintenance hassle to a minimum.

Detailed Rally-Style Body

The Beetle's rounded silhouette and rally graphics are faithfully represented, with body panels that maintain scale proportions without sacrificing toughness. The polycarbonate shell withstands knocks while retaining realistic contours and decal placement.

Setup Advice for Different Terrains

Small suspension tweaks can noticeably change handling, so start with the stock settings and adjust spring rate or ride height based on grip levels. The MF-01X accepts common hop-up parts for further handling refinement as your driving style evolves.

With its retro body and practical MF-01X underpinnings, the Tamiya 58650 Volkswagen Beetle Rally is a rewarding build for hobbyists who enjoy period models and tunable handling.
