Tamiya RC Mercedes-Benz Arocs 6x4 Tipper Truck 3348 Red Ltd Ed - Item #56361

1/14 Scale Tractor Truck

This is a special edition of the R/C Mercedes Benz Arocs tipper truck kit (Item 56357), the stylish 3-axle truck with movable bed and distinctive bucket tooth grille. It is a great option for R/C enthusiasts without the time or confidence to apply a paint job to their creation, as parts come pre-painted in TS-8 Italian red (cab) and TS-17 Gloss aluminium (rear bed), and given a urethane clear coating for a beautiful, lasting finish.

This is a highly accurate 1/14 scale radio control model that recreates the Mercedes-Benz Arocs dump truck. It features a highly realistic truck bed section behind the cab which can be operated by the radio transmitter, using the separately-sold Actuator Set (Item 56545)!

The model's ladder frame chassis features aluminium side channels with resin cross members and is equipped with a highly realistic suspension utilising metal leaf springs and friction dampers. A front-mounted motor and 3-speed transmission power the two rear wheel axles, which are fitted with built-in differentials to enable smooth cornering. A 4-channel R/C system and multi-function unit allow you to drive the vehicle and experience realistic lights, sounds and vibrations. (Both sold separately)

Realistic Lights, Sounds, and Vibration

Multi-Function Control Unit (MFC-01) (included for Japanese market only) offers light, sound, and vibration operation to accompany your R/C truck experience. Engine sounds have been digitally recorded from the actual truck, and together with air horn, gear shifting, and many other realistic sounds, give you the feeling that you are driving the real thing! Headlights, brake lights, fog lamp, hazard lights and turn signal operations are also at your fingertips.
