And now for the konghead!!!

I was so excited seeing this, as I have a soft spot for 6x6 rc vehicles. I had to mod other parts in the past to make my own 6x6, which was fun, but it is nice to see a box stock option out there!!!

The Konghead is on the g6-01 chassis, with is basically a stretched variant of the GF-01 chassis, with a rear diff and transfer gears added. It has the option of running rear wheel steering, which I did on my build. You do need to run 2 servos, but they will function correctly with a simple servo Y harness off the steering channel. It could be put on the 3rd channel and mixed if you have a radio with that function.

It is an awesome kit, lots of fun to build and run. Great turning circle with the rear wheel steering. I put a torque tuned motor in that I had laying around, kit comes with a std silver can. No esc included, I am using the TBLE-02s, and plan to run the 17.5t brushless motor I tried in the dump truck. It will not be as fast but will be fun to run in my yard. I also plan to lock the center and possibly the rear diff to increase crawling capability.
