Tamiya GF-02 Squash Van RC Monster Truck Electric 4WD 1/10 Scale Kit (No ESC)
Tamiya GF-02 Squash Van RC Monster Truck Electric 4WD 1/10 Scale Kit (No ESC)
This kit comes without an ESC, Servo, Battery, Charger, or Transmitter and will come with an unpainted body that may require cutting, painting and drilling.
The Squash Van is a large-tyre vehicle that draws inspiration from 1950s American panel vans. Its polycarbonate body shell sits atop the gear-driven 4WD GF-02 chassis, a modified version of the GF-01. While the GF-01 features a comical design, the GF-02 takes a more realistic approach with its wheelbase and a frame adorned with ladder and pipe elements.
The wheelbase is designed to match the LWB CC-02 chassis, opening up several body options from the CC-02 range. Both front and rear axles use identical double wishbone suspension. A pre-threaded servo mount at the rear allows for easy installation of a second servo, enabling advanced 4WS configurations.
The motor is mounted in a central position and is engineered specifically to even distribute power via the GF-02 unique gear driven drive system.
Drawing from 1950s panel van style, from the rounded headlights and body design to the flared arches, the Squash van body has been carefully designed to showcase everything that people love about this era of motoring.
For consistent handling across the entire car, both front and rear axles utilise identical double wishbone suspension layouts. Additionally, a pre-threaded servo mount at the rear allows for the easy installation of a second servo, enabling advanced 4WS configurations for enhanced manoeuvrability.
White deep-rim wheels provide ample clearance, while 123mm tyres with aggressive tread patterns deliver superior traction and control, making this model a true off-road monster.
Not a company to shy away from a challenge, Tamiya have put their considerable knowledge and know how into designing a unique drive system consisting entirely of gears. This has resulted in an incredibly unique and smooth driving experience that could only be delivered by a company like Tamiya.
Not super keen on the body style or want something branded? Tamiya have designed the wheelbase to be the same as the LWB CC-02 chassis, opening up several options of bodies from the incredibly scale CC-02 range.
