We all know that the Tamiya Konghead G6-01 6x6 monster truck was not built for top speed, being geared to be able to take on 40+ degree climbs. But we thought it would be interesting to see how fast the stock truck was, and then compare it to the same truck with a budget £20 sensored brushless upgrade. So we fitted a 13.5t motor and went to find out. To make it more interesting, we also took a Konghead with the optional motor pinion fitted (20 tooth as opposed to the supplied 18 tooth) to see if the brushless motor would pull the higher gearing.
The Kongheads are standard, apart from a full metal bearing conversion.
Many thanks to Rob Brennan for his invaluable help making this video.
