Konghead was one of the first monster trucks I built. It is a stunning kit when finished and any upgrade in the motor is just what it needs. Lunchbox, Heavy Dump truck and the Konghead will just give miles of smiles.
It definitely belongs in that category and should have more light thrown its way, it is a fab kit, glad you like it 👍
I would say all have their place. Personally I never owned any Tamiya as a kid. Even didn't know the brand. Wasn't too much I to RC. Today I have too Tamiya and some other rc.
For me it was Tamiya all the way, maybe one day I will explore others, but not for a while 🤣😂👍
@@RCsoandso yep 99% Tamiya here. Only have built the Tamiya. Still touch fun.
"Not you"😂😂😂
Pne thing the Kongjead has in common with the Lunch Box (my favorite): both intend to roll over to the side in tight high speed turrns. Proven in the outtakes😂
Great video and running footages.
Have a great weekend guys.
It does have a Lunchbox vibe about it, you are right, maybe a head to head is in the future. Hope you have a good weekend, not long till all those football fans go home now 🤣😂👍
I think the kong head is awesome. They’re definitely on my want list of RC monster trucks
I would really recommend getting one, they are such a great vehicle, just need more love sending its way 👍
I have the King Yellow and love the thing as it's brilliant.
Yes the King Yellow is a great body to have with it, lots of great colour schemes for it 👍
Fabulous. Just wrapping up our Lunch Box build and about to embark on a Konghead project.
With that amount of fun I bet you are struggling to sleep, both amazing projects 👍
it does loo like a blast to drive and they are surprisingly quick and agile! I am looking forward to building mine and romping it around! I have the Volvo 6x6 dump truck and it looks like it should be slow and well... dumpy! It really drives super well and is just silly fun! I did get a chuckle when it rolled over and sat there on its roof! Take care guys and I enjoyed the video!
You will have a blast building and running it, any cats in the area will head for the hills when they see it thundering along, unstoppable! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for your continued support 👍
I hum hawed for months before I just bought a Konghead.
They are utterly goofy looking. Like a fever dream of a 6 year old. Which, to me, was all the appeal. Everyone was like, "really? Why'd you buy that?"
"Cause it's a bad mofo."
Easily one of my favorites to drive, it handles brushless (thanks to the literal 40 ball bearings) and you just wouldn't understand unless you have driven one. 6 wheel drive monster truck, sporting a semi truck body. Say no more.
I'm gonna go drive my Konghead right fking now.
I would say you are right about its attitude, and with all those bearings it will keep the manufacturers in the black! It’s definitely Top Tier Tamiya! 👍
Those things are so much fun. Great video. I painted my King Yellow like the Fort Night battle bus. Did the 4 feel steering with 2 servos and a 10 turn 3 cell brushless setup. SICK FUN!
Crikey I bet that is in the air as much as the Fort Night Bus, just with less abusive teenagers jumping out 🤣😂👍
Ooh Proper Job ♥🍻 I think that the Konghead does have plenty of fans but what it hasn't got yet is the nostalgia factor. I think that it is the very best of what Tamiya has done in recent years. Great stuff guys. Best wishes 😁👍👍
Everyone that has one really gets the potential of this model, and I just hope it gets to that stage where people look at it more fondly 👍
Excellent video. Very underrated vehicle
Exactly, it’s a great kit and more people need to be aware of it 👍
The konghead is certainly a jack of all trades,and by the looks of it even jumps well to.
But you do bring up a valid point.....
As a huge Tamiya Monster truck fan I currently own:-
2 lunchbox's
2 pumpkins
2 clods
3 monster beetles
1 mud blaster
1 blackgoot
......but no Kongheads?
Possibly for the very reasons you suggested perhaps?
We buy a CWO1 for their bouncy cumbersome wheelie antics,we buy a clod for its sheer size and brutality, and we buy an ORV for its nimble buggy like steering....
but at the same time these models all have their own issues/quirks!
So in reality I think you have hit the nail on the head there guys....perhaps being just a good all rounder lessens it's appeal?
That's got me pondering now! 😁
👍 👍 👍
See I knew you would understand, especially with the stable of vehicles that you have, it’s not really a go to choice. Maybe it needs a hard shell instead, or a place to put a Yorkie bar in it, but it’s a fantastic model! 👍
@@RCsoandso
Who knows eh?
But it sure looks fun to drive that's for sure!
I may pull the trigger one day and purchase one perhaps.
I think my main issue now is space,or should I say lack of it!
I'm fast running out of room now with all those monster trucks,and of course there's also all the buggies and rally cars! 😬
I keep telling myself "no more", but its like an addiction! 😂
The funny thing is,the bulk of the time it's normally a lunchbox or Monster Beetle I take out for a spin....despite having all those other models.
There's definitely something in that!
👍 👍 👍
I think space is a massive issue. Maybe when you buy so many Tamiya models the come round and sink a shipping container under your garden 🤔😂👍
@@RCsoandso 😁 😁 😁 😁 👍
What no love for the Fighter Buggy RX? It's a great basher for the kids. Mine is over 25 years old and still going strong! Still got to find some time to build my Konghead. Looks great!
I don’t dislike stuff on whim, but the RX is the worst, it’s got a real Friday afternoon vibe about it, design wise. Get the Konghead built, you won’t regret it 👍
I have a Konghead that I built and sits in the shed. Perhaps I should give it a good thrashing and see how it holds up :)
100% don’t even bother dusting it off, just hit the outdoors and I’m sure you will have a blast 👍
Tamiya missed an opportunity with the Konghead. Instead of the weird truckbody the should have given us the Lunchbox 6x6. That thing would sell like hot cakes.
That would have been something to see, I wonder if it could be done 🤔👍
@@RCsoandso Someone did it, saw it on YT but can't remember the channel.
It is good at everything and master of none.
Exactly 👍
I said KONG! Huh, good God y'all. What is it good for? Absolutely everything. Say it again!
KONG!
Konghead is definitely quirky! it has its own charm, go anywhere anytime attitude. If I don't know what RC to bash around in, i will always take the Konghead out for a spin!
It does have a can do attitude and we really enjoy throwing it about, it’s just a pity it doesn’t get the love it should really, but maybe that’s because Tamiya have a lot of great models 🤔👍
I think I like it 😊
It’s a great model, there is a lot to like 👍
