Tamiya 1/18 R/C Dynahead 6x6 (G6-01TR) TAM-58660

Tamiya is delighted to announce the latest 6-wheeled beast in our line-up, the Dynahead 6x6, which takes inspiration from the big trucks used in the gruelling offroad world of truck trials. 

It appears on a new chassis variant named the G6-01TR, based upon the G6-01, with hub reduction axles providing extra height for taking on rougher terrain. With a stylish body penned by self-proclaimed "hyper designer" Takayuki Yamazaki from Japan, (Dual Ridge, etc.) it is sure to be a fun addition to your R/C garage!

Happy Trials...
This R/C model assembly kit creates the Dynahead 6x6. Its polycarbonate body is inspired by a cabover trial trucks particularly popular on the European scene, and designed by Takayuki Yamazaki. The boxy design features rear-hinged door motifs and has a wild look perfectly suited to the off-road. The model is based upon the 6-wheel drive G6-01TR, which offers extreme performance on tough surfaces, and thanks to its long wheelbase can even negotiate slopes of up to 40 degrees.

G6-01TR Chassis: Immense Traction
Reduction gears on each axle slow drive shaft rotation to give the 6-wheel drive G6-01TR chassis an overall gear ratio of 37.35:1, for immense traction, which along with its great ground clearance gives the ability to take on tough off-road terrain. It is based around a tough, slimline monocoque frame. Power is provided by a motor behind the front wheels, and transmitted to front, center and rear wheels via gears. The gearbox is sealed to protect from dust and debris, and integrated into the frame; it has built-in front, center and rear differential gears that provide superb traction and durability with the use of included diff putty. Double wishbone suspension is fitted with friction dampers, while black 5-spoke wheels are paired with 110mm diameter V-pattern block tires. With suspension reassembly and a separately-sold transmitter with 4WS function and R/C equipment, the rear wheels can be made steerable.
