About the Volkswagen Golf II GTI 16V
Chassis
The MB-01 chassis is nothing short of versatile and gives the user different options to choose from. The compact 2WD chassis can be assembled with your choice of wheelbase lengths; Short (210mm), Middle (225mm), or keep it Long (239mm) as depicted in the photos and on the box. Without removing the battery pack, motor, and other equipment setups from the center frame, you can change the attachment directions of the final gears and steering linkage to switch between front or rear wheel drive, where low or high motor mounting positions are available for rear wheel drive cars.
Suspension
The four-wheel double wishbone suspension features a symmetrical structure and friction dampers. Double wishbone suspension allows each wheel to act and react independently from the others, offering precision handling when tackling those hard-to-maneuver courses. Sections such as the motor mount, final gears, and suspension are unitized and facilitate ease of assembly and maintenance.
Painted Body
The kit features a pre-painted polycarbonate body, modeled after the Volkswagen Golf II GTI 16V. The body is painted in Tamiya red with tinted windows, giving it an elegant and authentic look. The pre-cut wheel arches and pre-made body mount holes make the assembly process easy and quick, especially for beginners. This level of detail in the design makes the model a perfect collector’s item and a standout on the track.
