GCD Hummer EV Crab Walk, Removable Roofs and Windows: What to Expect
GCD’s Hummer EV models offer a few ways to change their appearance on the shelf: an adjustable Crab Walk axle, removable tops and removable passenger windows. Check the instructions before moving those pieces, and decide how you want the cabin and wheels to look in your display.
This guide covers the listed adjustments. The pickup-versus-SUV comparison compares the body styles and finishes.

Crab Walk is not a remote-control specification
The gray pickup, KS-038-218 lists an adjustable Crab Walk axle. The name comes from the full-size Hummer EV’s CrabWalk feature, which turns the rear wheels in the same direction as the fronts for diagonal movement.
On this miniature, the confirmed feature is the axle adjustment. Motors, a controller, electronic steering modes and measured diagonal driving performance are not listed.
The description does not give an adjustment angle or identify a release mechanism. Use the instructions for the model, rather than full-size Hummer instructions, and avoid forcing the wheels into a pose.
Removable tops are different from a folding roof
The green SUV, KS-049-359 also lists removable tops. That gives you a roof-off display option; it is not described as a folding or retracting roof.
Read the supplied instructions before taking a panel off. Support the main body and keep pressure off mirrors and small roof details. If the release method is unclear, get clarification rather than prying at the finish.
Passenger windows do not mean the doors open
Removable passenger windows give another view into the cabin. That wording does not specify opening doors or removable glazing in every position.
If you want to add a driver, compare the figure’s pose and dimensions with the cabin first. Figure installation is not confirmed by the listing.
Plan somewhere for loose pieces
Both linked Hummers include a plastic showcase. Dedicated slots for removed tops and windows are not described, so plan somewhere safe to keep those pieces.
Keep loose parts together and labeled for the correct model, especially if you own several colors. Leaving the roof on is a simpler arrangement if you prefer to keep everything in place.
Who benefits from these features?
These features suit a collector who enjoys changing a model’s display. For powered driving or track use, look for specifications that explicitly cover those functions.
