requires construction, RC electronics, a battery, charger and additional modelling supplies before operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the body already painted?\u003c\/strong\u003e The main ABS cab and body components are factory painted silver and protected by a gloss urethane topcoat. Smaller details, including areas such as the window frames, still require finishing during assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the model 1\/10 or 1\/14 scale?\u003c\/strong\u003e This truck is 1\/14 scale. References describing it as a 1\/10 scale model are incorrect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the kit include a motor?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. A Tamiya TR Mighty-Tuned 35-turn brushed motor is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the radio system and servos included?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. A compatible four-channel radio system and two servos are required separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the transmission be shifted from the transmitter?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. When correctly assembled with a suitable four-channel radio system and shift servo, the three-speed transmission can be operated from the transmitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the towing functions radio controlled?\u003c\/strong\u003e The standard winch boom, underlift and outriggers are manually operated. The separately available Tamiya 56553 Electric Actuator Set allows selected lifting functions to be controlled electronically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the optional MFC-03 add?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Tamiya MFC-03 can add synchronised engine sounds, gear-change sounds, lighting, vibration and other operational effects. Additional LEDs may be required for some lighting functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it tow other Tamiya RC trucks?\u003c\/strong\u003e The model is designed to tow compatible 1\/14 scale Tamiya tractor trucks when properly assembled, equipped and operated on a suitable surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eImportant Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is a complex model assembly kit intended for experienced builders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe completed model shown in promotional images may include separately purchased electronics, lighting and optional accessories.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMain cab and body parts are pre-painted, but detail painting is still required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadio system, receiver, servos, speed controller, battery and charger are not included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe electric actuator set and MFC-03 multifunction unit are optional and sold separately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfirm that the selected radio equipment supports steering, throttle and three-speed transmission operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailability and arrival dates can vary by country and distributor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52671495536952,"sku":"47528","price":1849.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/2849\/9768\/files\/Tamiya_Volvo_FH16_Globetrotter_750_8x4_Tow_Truck_Silver_Edition_114_RC_Kit_47528-000_1.png?v=1784603338","url":"https:\/\/ozrc.com.au\/products\/47528","provider":"OZRC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
