Tamiya designed the Konghead based on American trailer tractor units. The polycarbonate body features a big sleeper cab, flat nose and radiator grille.
The 6×6 refers to the fact that it has 6 wheels (across 3 axles), all of which are powered.
Metal-plated air cleaner and muffler parts give an authentic finish.
The model comes equipped with the 6-wheel drive G6-01TR chassis. It offers extreme performance on tough surfaces. It is based around a tough, slimline monocoque frame.
A motor behind the front wheels provides power, before transmitting it to front, centre and rear wheels via gears. The sealed and frame-integrated gearbox protects it from dust and debris.
Reduction gears on each axle slow drive shaft rotation to give an overall gear ratio of 37.35:1, for immense traction. Front, centre and rear differential gears boost traction and the kit also includes diff putty.
What’s more, hub reduction units on all 6 wheels slow down drive shaft output for greater torque and immense traction.
It also has double wishbone suspension fitted with friction dampers and black 5-spoke wheels paired with 110mm diameter V-pattern block tyres.
Its great ground clearance gives the ability to take on tough off-road terrain and thanks to its long wheelbase it can even negotiate slopes of up to 40 degrees.
Add decoration to the body using the included marking stickers.
With suspension reassembly and a separately-sold transmitter with 4-Wheel-Steering function and R/C equipment, the rear wheels can be made steerable.
This all means that the Konghead has awesome off-road and crawling capability!
This is a remote control kit that requires assembly. The kit also requires painting, either by using the suggested paint schemes or however else you would like! Paint this kit using Polycarbonate Spray Paint (PS). This type of paint is appropriate for use with flexible shells – the paint won’t crack off.
