Tamiya Volvo A60A Dumper 6×6 (G6-01) 1/24

Power Hauler

Volvo’s impressive and varied vehicle line-up is home to a highly successful range of working vehicles that includes haulers for heavyweight work in mines, quarries and the like, among them the A60H that was announced at the Bauma 2016 show in Munich. This R/C model assembly kit depicts the A60H with a polycarbonate cab section capturing the hauler’s distinctive lines, and a sturdy bed moulded in ABS plastic. Stickers are included to recreate details such as front grille, air inlets flanking the hood, headlights, logos and more.

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, and yellow deep rim wheels are paired with chunky 113mm tires. A 2-piece steering tie-rod setup utilises 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.
