Tamiya KongHead 6x6 (G6-01)

The Tamiya KongHead 6×6 (G6-01) is a 2WD truck kit, built on Tamiya’s GF-01 chassis. It arrives as a box of parts rather than a finished car, so you assemble the chassis, fit the electronics and paint or trim the body before the first run.

Finished, it measures 420mm long. The body is polycarbonate, so it takes knocks better than a hard shell.

Tamiya supply an electronic speed controller in the box.
