Konghead 6x6 overview - classic design meets six-wheel engineering

The Tamiya Konghead 6x6 built on the G6-01 chassis pairs classic Bullhead styling with a practical six-wheel drive layout. The kit is aimed at modellers and drivers who value a distinctive appearance combined with a reliable mechanical base.

G6-01 chassis - compact, gear-driven architecture

The G6-01 provides a slim monocoque frame and a gear-driven transmission that supplies drive to all six wheels. A sealed gearbox minimises ingress of dust and debris so gears and differentials operate with reduced maintenance needs.

Independent double-wishbone suspension for all six wheels

Each wheel is mounted on an independent double-wishbone assembly with friction dampers to maintain traction over uneven terrain. This configuration enhances stability on surfaces ranging from loose soil to tarmac and supports climbs up to about 40 degrees.

Polycarbonate shell with Bullhead accents

The body is moulded in durable polycarbonate and styled after the Bullhead, complete with a sticker sheet and chrome-plated details such as air cleaners and exhausts. Deep rim chrome wheels complement the aggressive stance while keeping weight manageable.

4WS option for improved manoeuvrability

The model can accept an optional 4-wheel steering installation for tighter turning and improved low-speed handling when additional R/C components are fitted.

The Tamiya Konghead 6x6 G6-01 is well suited to enthusiasts seeking a buildable six-wheel platform that balances classic monster truck looks with a sensible, serviceable chassis architecture.

Basic setup includes fitting the supplied polycarbonate body, installing electronics such as radio, ESC and battery, trimming and applying stickers, and checking gear meshing and wheel alignment.
Common wear parts and spare items for the G6-01 drivetrain are generally available through Tamiya parts dealers. Keep spare driveshafts and small gears if you plan heavy use.
The kit includes the necessary wheel fittings and body mounting hardware. Verify hardware list during build and retain spare screws and clips for maintenance.
Use polycarbonate-specific paints and apply thin coats to avoid cracking. Mask carefully for multi-colour schemes and allow enough drying time before applying stickers or mounting the shell.
