The 1980s witnessed the rise of the hot hatch in the automotive world. Among the automakers that played a pivotal role in popularizing hatchbacks was Volkswagen, with its iconic MK2 GTI 16V earning a special place in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts. Tamiya has meticulously reproduced the MK2 GTI, transforming it into a rally race car built for A7 class competition. This body is mounted on the versatile MF-01 chassis, perfectly suited for navigating both asphalt and flat dirt terrains with ease.
MF-01X Chassis:
Based around a tough monocoque frame with integrated gearboxes, this compact 4WD chassis gives a thrilling drive whether you take it on road or flat dirt surfaces. It features a rear-mounted motor, with gear-driven rear wheels and a propeller shaft taking power to the front. Both front and rear gearboxes have differential gears. The battery pack location in the chassis center secures excellent balance, while 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension employs friction dampers.
