Tamiya 47497 - 1/10 RC Squash Van (Green/White Painted Body) (GF-02 Chassis) w/ESC  [47497]

The Squash Van: A Nostalgic Ride with Modern Twists

Step back in time with Tamiya's Squash Van 47497, a delightful nod to the classic 1950s American panel vans. This Limited Edition model brings together retro aesthetics with cutting-edge RC technology. Its eye-catching polycarbonate body, pre-painted in Cobalt Green with a White roof, sits atop the innovative gear-driven GF-02 chassis. Whether you're a seasoned RC racer or a newcomer, this model's blend of style and performance is sure to captivate.

Driving Dynamics of the GF-02 Chassis

The GF-02 chassis is a masterpiece of engineering, designed for both realism and robustness. Unlike the comical GF-01, the GF-02 offers a more authentic wheelbase, complete with ladder and pipe motifs that mimic real-world vehicles. This setup provides a stable, smooth ride, making it ideal for multi-terrain use. The 4WD system ensures excellent traction and control, allowing you to tackle various surfaces with confidence.

Perfect for All RC Enthusiasts

One of the highlights of the Squash Van is its accessibility. With a pre-painted body and pre-made mount holes, assembly is a breeze, even for beginners. Yet, it doesn't compromise on complexity, offering plenty of customization options for experienced hobbyists. The kit includes a 540 brushed motor and ESC, but you'll need to add a 2-channel radio, steering servo, and compatible battery to get rolling.

With its captivating vintage design and modern performance, the Tamiya Squash Van 47497 is a versatile RC car that appeals to hobbyists of all levels. Whether you’re driving for fun or showcasing your collection, it's a standout choice.
