Unlike conventional\nmilitary trucks, the Gama Goat featured a unique two-module design consisting of a four-wheel\ntractor unit and a two-wheel rear carrier, connected by an articulated joint.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis articulation joint allowed the two modules to move independently, giving the Gama Goat\nexceptional mobility over rough terrain, steep inclines, and uneven ground. Its unusual\nconfiguration earned it a reputation for goat-like climbing ability, while its name also\nhonored Roger Gamaunt, the engineer responsible for the articulation system.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nApproximately 14,000 Gama Goats were produced before production ended in 1973. They served\nin a wide range of roles including troop transport, logistics, and reconnaissance, and were\ndeployed as late as the 1983 invasion of Grenada before being phased out by the early 1990s.\nThis kit faithfully recreates the distinctive design and mechanical features of this iconic\nCold War-era military vehicle.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50369502806263,"sku":"MH_TAM35330_HH","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/3324\/8759\/files\/a61dcc3be2d8e77332faec1dc8ec2a5f.jpg?v=1766240897","url":"https:\/\/checkout.miniaturehobbies.com\/products\/6x6-m561-gama-goat","provider":"Miniature Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
