Tamiya 1/14 R/C Mercedes-Benz Arocs 4151 8x4 Tipper Truck

The Tamiya 1/14 R/C Mercedes-Benz Arocs 4151 8x4 Tipper Truck recreates the Mercedes-Benz Arocs dump truck in the 8x4 configuration. 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 (TAM56545).

The model's ladder frame chassis features aluminum side channels with resin cross members and is equipped with a highly realistic suspension utilizing metal leaf springs and friction shock-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 separately sold 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).
