Sporty & Stunning! Tamiya Volkswagen Karmann Ghia M-06L video review by RC Driver



For many, buying and driving an RC car modeled after a real car is a way to get some type of experience with something of interest. I have a Tamiya Porsche GT3 in my collection that I cherish because I want the real car but will probably never get the chance to own one. A lot of Tamiya’s RC models are perfect for this purpose and if you are a Volkswagen Karmann Ghia fan, this latest release from Tamiya will be right up your alley! The Tamiya Volkswagen Karmann Ghia is based on the M06L RR platform so it’s a smaller sedan, but still a ton of fun to drive. Like nearly most of Tamiya’s RC cars nowadays, the VW is a kit that you build and detail, perfect for those who love the modeling aspect of the hobby. We built and painted ours over the past few weeks and are now ready to show it off. We’ll give you the details about this exciting RC car in our full review which of course includes action and our performance thoughts as well.

Tamiya 47438 Super Storm Dragon

The Super Dragon first appeared in 1986 in a classic Japanese RC comic and was originally only available from Tamiya as accessory bodykit 50364 for the Hornet chassis.

The success of the Super Dragon led Tamiya to the birth of the legendary “Dragon model series”, which was followed by other models such as Fire Dragon, Thunder Dragon and Saint Dragon.

With the article 47438 the Super Storm Dragon is offered as a kit for the first time.
A Hornet chassis was selected, which was also intended as a chassis carrier at the time of release.

The polycarbonate body is already painted and cut to size, and the simple and easy to assemble chassis is recommended for a wide range of users.

A TBLE-02S speed controller and type 540 motor are included.
