Tamiya Volvo FH16 Globetrotter 750 8x4 RC Tow Truck 1/14th Scale RC 56362

Volvo is a renowned actor in the global commercial vehicle market, with one of their flagship brands being the FH Series that underwent a full model change in 2012. This RC model assembly kit recreates the 750hp engine FH16 Globetrotter 750 8x4 tow truck from that range. The model has a realistic cab and body, the former featuring a photo-etched front grille and interior details, the latter opening doors. Its fascinating towing mechanism uses plenty of metal parts and winch boom, under lift and outriggers are movable manually. The front mounted TR Mighty Tuned motor (35T) provides ample power to the two rear axles, via a three-speed transmission. Gear changes are also possible via transmitter controls, and the model can tow subjects such as 1/14 scale RC tractor trucks.

Optional Extras for Ultra Realism

• Item 56553 Electric Actuator Set for 1/14 Scale RC Tow Truck
  This separately sold set allows raising of the winch boom and underlift via RC controls. It uses a precision geared motor and spindle cylinder, plus the ACU-02 unit, and also features a toggle switch for manual control.
• Item 56523 Tractor Truck Multi-Function Control Unit MFC-03
