Tamiya Man TGX 26.540 6X4 XLX 1/14 Scaled Tractor Truck Kit 56325

This is a MAN Truck!
Also known as transporters that are used by F1 teams today, MAN Company's tractor truck the TGX 26.540 6x4 XLX was awarded "The 2008 Truck of the Year." This award winning truck comes reproduced as a 1/14 scale electric R/C model. The model features a ladder frame chassis with aluminium channels, suspension with metal leaf springs and friction dampers, and rear axles equipped with differentials. Providing this truck with a realistic scale finish are parts which feature two kinds of metal-plating and metal transfers to beautifully depict details such as the front grille's emblem. Furthermore, the chassis features a 3-speed transmission which allows gear shifting while driving via transmitter, with the sound and lighting actions reproduced by the separately available Multi Function Control (MFC-01) unit.

Just like the actual vehicle, this model comes with large-sized curved side mirrors that feature two mirror surfaces.
The left side exhaust cover is depicted with matt finished metal-plated part which features the MAN EURO 5 engrave.
Both rear axles are equipped with differentials. The included coupler enables linkage with any of Tamiya's 1/14 scale R/C trailers.
The TGX 26. 540 logos seen on both doors are depicted with metal transfers for greater scale presence.
Included are metal transfers to depict the MAN logo and Lion emblem on the front grille.
Both left and right step plates are depicted with matt finished metal-plated parts with realistic non-slip safe-guard sections.
