Classic panel van styling with GF-02 engineering

The Tamiya Squash Van, model number 58725-60A, combines a nostalgic 1950s panel van silhouette with modern RC design. The polycarbonate body captures vintage lines while the GF-02 underpinnings provide a purposeful platform for off-road running.

GF-02 chassis tuned for predictable handling

Taking cues from the GF-01 but with a longer wheelbase, the GF-02 improves straight line stability and on-track balance. Its monocoque style frame positions the motor low and near the centre, powering a gear-driven 4WD layout that keeps torque flowing to all wheels while sealed gearboxes reduce grit and wear.

Built for handling and easy upgrades

Dual gear differentials help the Squash Van hold lines through corners, and the fully independent double wishbone suspension with friction dampers smooth rough surfaces. Owners can swap pinion gears to choose from three gear ratios and add aftermarket 4WS systems for sharper steering response.

For hobbyists who like authentic vintage looks without sacrificing tunability, the Tamiya Squash Van is a rewarding kit. Its mix of classic styling and GF-02 mechanical layout makes it a solid choice for both display and off-road fun.

The longer wheelbase and lower motor placement give the GF-02 steadier handling at speed and reduced roll in corners, which helps when running off-road or on mixed surfaces.
Simple upgrades like different pinion gears, stickier tyres, or a stronger steering servo make the biggest practical difference. Many owners also fit aftermarket shocks for improved damping.
The kit format is approachable for newcomers who follow the manual step by step. Basic soldering or electronics knowledge helps, but the build is a good way to learn RC mechanics.
You will need a 2-channel transmitter and receiver, a steering servo, a 7.2-7.4V battery pack with charger, and spray paint suitable for polycarbonate to finish the body.
