The Tamiya 1:10 R/C Volkswagen Golf II GTI 16V is a detailed assembly kit measuring 38.3 cm × 17.0 cm × 13.8 cm with a 239 mm wheelbase. Built on the BT-01 chassis, it provides a beginner-friendly yet customizable platform with adjustable drivetrain configurations and wheelbase settings.
This model replicates the 1986 Volkswagen Golf II GTI 16V, a front-wheel-drive favorite powered by a 1,781cc inline-4 DOHC engine. The polycarbonate body features realistic details, including molded bumpers, side mirrors, and clear headlights and taillights, while the classic porous dish wheels come fitted with radial tires.
Performance is backed by a 540-Type Torque-Tuned brushed motor and a Hobbywing-produced ESC for smooth control. To complete the kit, a 2-channel radio, steering servo, 7.2V–7.4V battery with charger, and Tamiya PS paint are required, making it an exciting project for enthusiasts looking to build and drive a legendary hatchback.
