Retro style with a solid GF-02 platform

The Tamiya Squash Van 47497 captures 1950s panel van charm while using modern RC parts. The pre-painted polycarbonate body in Cobalt Green with a white roof sits on the gear-driven GF-02 chassis, offering a mix of eye-catching looks and practical durability for everyday running.

Chassis traits and on-track behaviour

The GF-02 chassis favours realistic wheelbase proportions and stronger construction compared to smaller platforms like the GF-01. Its ladder and pipe styling echoes real vehicle frames and the 4WD setup combined with fully independent double wishbones gives composed, confidence-inspiring handling on varied surfaces.

Starter-friendly yet upgradeable

Assembly is simplified by the pre-painted bodyshell and ready-made mount points, making it a good entry kit. Hobbyists can swap electronics and fit performance parts easily. Included are a 540 brushed motor and ESC; you will need to add a 2-channel radio, steering servo and a suitable battery and charger to run.

No, the body arrives pre-painted in Cobalt Green with a white roof, so you can focus on assembly and electronics installation.
Yes, the stable GF-02 chassis and 4WD make it suitable for club circuits with mixed surfaces, though tyre choice will influence lap times and grip.
The kit uses independent double wishbones which allow standard tuning via shock oil, spring rate and ride height adjustments to refine handling.
Most compact 7.2V NiMH packs and common LiPo packs will fit if you check dimensions and ensure the battery hold-down and connectors are compatible.
