Interested in the Squash Van? @Poor Boys RC posted a great unboxing and build video! 
Can’t wait for the next video, running the ‘Van Squash’

This made me add the Squash Van to my wish list 😎

It looks good - seems to be partly a grab bag of older parts (the Blackfoot tyres, WT-01 rims, etc). The rubber tubing in the shocks seems to be an older idea - just found it in the WR-02 (Wild Willy 2) manual.

I had the impression that it would be delivered as a pre-painted body but apparently not.

What also struck me it with the "Van Squash" decals - perhaps the pieces are to be cut in half and reversed, so that you get "Squash Van" and the lines lining up?

Still a bit undecided on the looks of the body, but the chassis with a pickup body (Proline) could be cool, with the 4WS option done. I mean, can one have too many monster truck options, really? Not me, at least.

Well, he might as well use his hairdryer for something. 😁

Nice follow up video, still no driving though….. (Who cares about a little rain 😉)

Finaly, the driving video is here, shows some nice airtime for the ‘Van Squash’!

Tamiya hit all the right points with this release.

But there's something about the body VS the tire size that doesn't look rigth(its like it needed bigger tires)

But all the rest is a winner in my book(just have to add longer shocks,shock tower and bigger tires :)

Thank you for making these excellent (pun intended ) videos!
Like it how you’re not afraid to shown what goes wrong and don’t take yourself to serious, guess that’s something Canadians and Dutch have in common👍
