Retro panel van looks with a tuneable GF-02 base

The Tamiya Squash Van, model number 58725-60A, recreates the iconic panel van silhouette using a clear polycarbonate shell over a modern GF-02 chassis. The result is a model that looks authentic while providing a capable mechanical platform.

Chassis layout focused on balance

The GF-02 introduces a longer wheelbase and a layout that keeps the motor low and central for improved balance. Drive is managed through a gear-driven 4WD system and sealed gearbox sections that help reduce maintenance from grit and mud.

Practical features for performance and customising

Standard front and rear gear differentials aid cornering stability, while the independent double wishbone suspension with friction dampers helps the van handle rough terrain. Owners can choose from three gear ratios via separate pinion gears and add compatible 4WS units for extra steering control.

This kit is ideal for builders who value a period-correct body with a practical, upgrade-friendly chassis. The Squash Van suits display builds and weekend off-road runs alike.

Regular checks and light lubrication keep the gear diffs running smoothly. If you plan heavy bashing, inspect for wear and replace gears or bearings as needed.
V-Block tyres work well on loose dirt and grass. For hardpack surfaces choose harder compounds or lower-profile tyres to reduce squirm and improve steering precision.
The GF-02 is built around a 540 brushed motor footprint. Converting to brushless is possible but requires careful selection of motor, ESC, and possibly different pinion/spur gearing to match the power and prevent overheating.
Tamiya supplies common spares and many third-party makers offer compatible upgrades. Popular items to keep on hand include drive gears, suspension arms, and bearings.
Yes, the period-correct body suits display builds, while the GF-02 chassis gives enthusiasts a capable running model that can be tuned for performance.
