300056366 - RC Car, 1:14 RC MB Arocs 4151 Tipper 8x4

The TAMIYA truck for tough construction site use! The Mercedes Benz Acros 4151 8x4 is a real heavyweight on the construction site. TAMIYA has modified the proven chassis for this truck: The truck has 4 axles as in the original. The two rear axles are driven by a powerful 540 electric motor. The two front axles are steered by a servo (available separately). The steering angle of the two axles is different, so that a true-to-the-original driving behaviour is achieved.
The frame has a subframe to accommodate the newly designed tipping trough. The tipping body has been reinforced with a metal subframe and can be controlled via the optional TAMIYA ACU-01 unit (56545).
The distinctive design of the new Arocs is as unusual as the truck as a whole. For example, a radiator grille in the so-called digger's tooth look has been installed in the look specially developed for construction vehicles, which is intended to convey the message: "Bite through and grab hold". In keeping with the robust appearance, special protective grilles for the lighting system are fitted to the bumper.
The 667 mm long and around 4 kg heavy kit model can be used to put together impressive combinations. Under the forward tilting cab you will find the proven and robust TAMIYA truck technology. A new Mighty-Tuned 35T electric motor delivers its power to the two rear axles via a shiftable 3-speed gearbox. A detailed aluminium ladder frame gives the model the necessary stability and flexibility.
A towing hitch (e.g. Carson 500907182) can be attached to the rear part of the frame to pull trailers.
With the optionally available multi-function unit almost all sound and light functions of the prototype can be deceptively simulated.
