The Tamiya Squash Van, model number 58725-60A, captures a classic 1950s panel van profile while using contemporary RC components. Its clear polycarbonate shell reproduces retro lines and mounts to the GF-02 layout for credible off-road capability.
Compared with earlier GF platforms, the GF-02 gives a longer wheelbase for improved tracking and a monocoque influenced layout that positions the motor centrally and low. Power is routed via a gear-driven 4WD train and sealed gearbox housings help limit dirt intrusion.
Front and rear gear differentials promote predictable cornering, and the four-wheel double wishbone suspension with friction dampers helps control body motion on uneven ground. The kit allows three gear ratio choices with separately available pinions and accepts many third-party 4WS setups.
Whether you build for display or for regular bashing, the Squash Van delivers genuine retro character along with a chassis that rewards tuning and sensible upgrades.
