Konghead 6x6 unleashed: six-wheel off-road performer

The Tamiya Konghead 6x6, mounted on the G6-01 chassis, is more than a novelty; it is a purpose-built machine for fans of technical off-road driving. Drawing on Bullhead styling cues, this kit blends throwback character with modern engineering to deliver a distinctive six-wheel driving experience.

G6-01 chassis - engineered for torque and reliability

The G6-01 chassis houses a slim monocoque frame and a gear-driven drivetrain that distributes power to all six wheels. A sealed gearbox protects the internals from dust and debris so the differentials keep turning smoothly during extended bashing sessions.

Six-wheel suspension built for control

Independent double-wishbone suspension on each wheel, fitted with friction dampers, soaks up rough ground while maintaining composure. This setup gives the Konghead excellent stability across compact trails, gravel and paved backroads, and it can tackle inclines up to 40 degrees when driven correctly.

Bullhead-inspired body and chrome details

The durable polycarbonate shell channels the classic Bullhead silhouette and comes with a fresh sticker sheet and chrome-plated touches like air cleaners and exhausts. Deep rim chrome wheels complete the aggressive look while keeping weight low for predictable handling.

Optional 4WS for sharper steering

Owners seeking tighter turning can fit a 4-wheel steering system with additional R/C gear. This optional setup improves low-speed maneuvering and makes reversing around obstacles much easier.

The Tamiya Konghead 6x6 G6-01 is a solid choice for hobbyists who want a distinctive six-wheel platform that is serviceable and fun to drive. It suits modders and collectors who appreciate classic styling and a rugged chassis.

The kit is aimed at hobbyists with basic model-building skills. Instructions are clear, but expect to spend time on trimming polycarbonate, fitting stickers and routing wires. Basic soldering and radio setup knowledge helps.
You will need a 2-channel radio, an ESC and motor compatible with 1/18 scale, a 7.2V battery and charger, plus servos for steering. Choose components sized for the Konghead's weight for reliable performance.
Routine checks are straightforward: inspect drive shafts, clean the sealed gearbox vents, and relube gears as needed. The sealed design reduces debris ingress but regular inspection extends drivetrain life.
Yes, the Konghead handles a variety of surfaces. Swap tyre types for best traction: softer compounds for loose dirt and harder tyres for smoother pavement to reduce wear.
