The Tamiya Squash Van, model number 58725-60A, recreates a 1950s panel van appearance in polycarbonate while using the GF-02 as its mechanical backbone. The combination gives an authentic look with a chassis suited to everyday RC use.
The GF-02 chassis adopts a longer wheelbase than earlier formats, improving tracking and providing a more planted feel. The centrally located, low-mounted motor drives a gear-based 4WD system and the sealed gearbox areas help keep debris out of the drivetrain.
Front and rear gear diffs assist with predictable handling and the independent double wishbone suspension with friction dampers helps control body motion. The kit supports three separate gear ratios via optional pinion gears and can accept compatible 4WS systems for enhanced maneuvering.
The Squash Van balances display-worthy retro styling with a chassis that encourages sensible upgrades and routine servicing, making it suitable for collectors and regular drivers alike.
