Dominate the Dirt
This R/C model assembly kit creates the Konghead 6x6. With its big sleeper cab, flat nose and radiator grille, its polycarbonate body takes inspiration from U.S. trailer heads. Metal-plated air cleaner and muffler parts give an authentic finish. Marking stickers are included to decorate the body with style. The new G6-01 chassis is a newly-designed 6WD unit that can take on slopes of up to 40 degrees. See below for much more information!

Fun, Innovative & Great Performance!
The fun G6-01 chassis is based around a tough, slimline monocoque frame and offers excellent off-road performance thanks to a 6-wheel drive system. 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 to provide smooth cornering. 6-wheel double wishbone suspension is fitted with friction dampers, while chrome-plated deep rim wheels are paired with 113mm diameter tires. A 2-piece steering tie-rod setup utilizes the servo on the left for excellent response. With suspension reassembly and a separately-sold transmitter with 4WS function and R/C equipment, the rear wheels can be made steerable.



- Double wishbone suspension is paired with friction dampers for excellent off-road performance.



- Smooth handling thanks to the 2-piece steering tie-rod and steering servo positioned on the left.



- The motor powers three differential gears inside the monocoque, in a gear-driven 6WD setup.

Glyn Jones / 6th June 2022

We do but not as a kit 

You would need  (4) 5x8x2.5 (36) 5x11x4 bearings.

Steve W @ Wheelspin Models
With the pro package how fast will it go?
Oliver / 15th January 2021

Speed isn't quoted but I'd estimate maybe around 25mph

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
do you have the speed controller for konghead 6x6 or where l can obtain one from
Colin Black / 8th July 2020

Any standard ESC will work fine... if you are running brushed motors something like say ET0103 or HW30120201 would work well

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
What ESC do you recommend?
Matt / 16th August 2017

Something like ET0103 would be ideal.
