Absolutely stunning truck that paint job is superb😍 I’ve not took much notice of this truck because I haven’t seen a decent looking one yet and I was never keen on the box art but yours completely changes my views👍
Hey Keith, thanks. I was looking for something a little different to add to my collection as well as being able to play around with it.. These are really fun!
It looks fantastic Ari!! I don't blame you for not going with a faster motor, no need to wreck that fantastic body! It looks like a bunch of fun to run around with just as it is! I have been tempted to try and order from Euro RC but figured with the shipping cost and waiting for weeks it would not be worth it but it sounds like you got yours crazy fast!!
I remember in the 80s, when I began in the hobby, bearings were 30 bucks, too! That was for standard 2wd buggies! Well, not much has changed in bearing technology, so it's good prices didn't go crazy.
Thanks. Yes I wasn't really a fan of this truck to but I was looking for something different to play around with and glad I got one. I Had a blast with it.
WOW that's an Awesome Body I thought about getting one of these but I'm not sure witch body style I want. holy smoke that a lot of gears. Where did you get that painting of the lunch box painting that a cool looking painting with Vaness sitting on the tire
I like what you did with the Konghead. It looks great. I. got the school bus. I thought the school bus was different. I did set-up the 4 wheel steering. I also got the clear chassis and colored internal gears. I did also get bearings, which there are lots. I also added oil filled dampers too. Thoughts?
I love the idea of the clear chassis with the colored gears. Perhaps something I'll do in the future but not sure. I really didn't want to sink anymore $ into this other than bearings and the body. I think the 4WS is fun... again something I might do in the future. These things are a blast and I think you'll love yours...
@@RCRetro I got a cheap Amazon brushless motor for it. It has a lower KV rating. I was concerned that too much power might mess up the gears. I got the brushless mostly because it was blue and would match the Tamiya shocks which are also blue. I got a Futaba computer radio which made the 4 wheel steering easy to set-up. Plus with that set-up I can change servo directions. The servos can steer together or in reverse direction with the flick of a switch. Thoughts?
Great looking truck. 👍
Love the body Ari and love the test location! Need many more run vids here please!
I agree. The location is about 40 minutes from me but I'll be back for sure at some point... going to try to find some other spots closer.
love the location and music...

Glad you enjoyed the video and are now interested in the Konghead. It really is a fun RC to play around with.
Looks great! Roll out!!
More than meets the eye...
These are super cool
That thing came out great! Awesome job, and that paint is epic.

After running it, I'm going to leave it as is.... plenty of fun and the speed was just right for this mighty 6x6 lol.... Thanks for the comment.
Great running video, paint job is awesome!
Thanks Roc. These are really a blast to mess around with.
Man this rad!
Great running video is a very capable truck
Agreed. More than I expected... Really had a fun time out with it.
Great job!
Looks awsome, optimas prime may take that look next time 😁

Love your channel man keep it up
Thanks. Greatly appreciated. More great content coming your way...
I have the Dynahead on this platform. Love it.
Now that I see how much fun the Konghead was, I want a Dynahead too...
Nice
I'd like to see you do a four-wheel steer.
Maybe possibly in the future...
I think you should race it on the track.
perhaps...
Man - never been a fan of the Lunchbox style vehicles, but this really looks trick - especially with the Optimus Prime Paint work!
Thanks. Yes I wasn't really a fan of this truck to but I was looking for something different to play around with and glad I got one. I Had a blast with it.
Came for the 6x6 but now i want the Macho Man figure.
Oooh yeah!
Love my Konghead. Been meaning to tear mine down and stuff the diffs with thicker grease to get more crawling action out of it.

Well Done! Your Konghead looks fantastic 🤩👍
Dynahead TR it has portal axles.
Sweet! How many bearings did the Kong take? I know my heavy duty dump truck took 26! 😳
I was born in 1984, Optimus Prime is a cab over!!!! 😂
Optimus hit the gym too often. Got muscles between muscles 😅
what about a Clodbuster and Konghead race on the race track?
The Bullhead was my first RC 😍😍... It looked great but drove like s***. Still like it...
