Tamiya Konghead 6×6 G6-01 1/18 Monster Truck Kit

The Tamiya Konghead 6×6 G6-01 1/18 Monster Truck Kit was Tamiya’s first six-wheeled R/C vehicle. This model utilizes a gear-driven 6WD chassis which is partially derived from the capable Tamiya GF-01 wheelie machine. The exceptional drive it provides will make for extreme fun while off-road driving. Furthermore, its powerful gear-driven setup allows the Konghead to take on slope inclines of up to 40 degrees!

The polycarbonate body, inspired by Tamiya’s classic Bullhead monster truck, features a sticker sheet with cool graphics. A host of metal-plated parts includes air cleaners and exhaust (both from the Bullhead monster truck), plus chrome-plated deep dish wheel rims.

G6-01
The fun G6-01 chassis is based around a tough, slimline monocoque frame and offers excellent off-road performance thanks to a 6-wheel drive system. Power is provided by a motor behind the front wheels, and transmitted to front, center and rear wheels via gears. The gearbox is sealed to protect from dust and debris, and integrated into the frame; it has built-in front, center and rear differential gears to provide smooth cornering. 6-wheel double wishbone suspension is fitted with friction dampers. A 2-piece steering tie-rod setup utilizes the servo on the left for excellent response. With suspension reassembly and a separately-sold transmitter with 4WS function and R/C equipment, the rear wheels can be made steerable.

JR Verified Owner Saturday, May 27 2023 (about 2 years ago) Tamiya Konghead 6×6 G6-01 1/18 Monster Truck Kit This is my second full kit build( lunchbox was my first). I had a lot of fun with this build! Don’t hesitate to get this was extremely easy to build. Hardest part was cutting the body out ( first time doing that). Only complaint I have which isn’t a huge one, the decals aren’t pre cut. I’m hooked will be buying more build kits! View all reviews
