The Tamiya Squash Van 47497 is a limited release that recreates the look of 1950s American panel vans while using modern RC engineering. Its Cobalt Green polycarbonate body with a white roof is pre-painted and rides on the GF-02 gear-driven chassis, offering classic visuals with user-friendly construction.
The GF-02 platform improves realism with a true-to-scale wheelbase and structural ladder and pipe motifs. It differs from the GF-01 by delivering a more authentic stance and stronger handling. The independent double wishbone suspension and 4WD layout give confident traction across common RC surfaces.
Assembly is straightforward thanks to pre-drilled mounting points and the pre-painted body, making it a good pick for new hobbyists. More experienced modders will appreciate space for upgrades. The kit ships with a 540 brushed motor and ESC; you will need to supply a 2-channel radio, steering servo, and a compatible battery and charger.
Blending period charm with a dependable GF-02 platform, the Tamiya Squash Van 47497 is a solid option for collectors and pilots who like a distinctive, tuneable 1/10 scale model.
