Tamiya DynaHead 6x6 (G6-01TR)

The Tamiya DynaHead 6×6 (G6-01TR) is a 1/18 scale 2WD truck kit, built on Tamiya’s G6-01TR 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 453mm long.

Tamiya supply a Type 540 motor and an electronic speed controller in the box.
