About the Squash Van 4WD
Advanced Gear-Driven 4WD Chassis
The GF-02 chassis is a marvel of engineering, designed to provide robust off-road performance. It features a centrally positioned motor within a lightweight, durable monocoque frame, transmitting power to both front and rear wheels via gears. The long wheelbase and wide tread setup ensure stability on rough terrains, while integrated sealed gearboxes keep debris out, enhancing the durability and reliability of the chassis.
Superior Suspension & Steering
Equipped with a 4-wheel double wishbone suspension and four friction dampers, the Squash Van guarantees smooth handling over various surfaces. The steering servo is strategically placed on the left, with identical-length tie-rods for balanced steering response. Additionally, the chassis is compatible with four-wheel steering (4WS) for an even more dynamic driving experience, making tight turns and complex maneuvers easier to execute.
Versatile & Customizable
The GF-02 chassis offers versatility with its adjustable gear ratios, allowing customization based on driving conditions. The kit includes an 18-tooth pinion gear but also supports 17T and 20T options. With its V-Block pattern block tires and robust frame featuring ladder and pipe motifs, the Squash Van is designed to handle both off-road adventures and casual backyard bashing, providing endless fun for R/C enthusiasts.
