Tamiya 1/14 Mercedes Benz Actros 3363 Gigaspace Electric RC Truck Kit
Whether you're a (real) truck driver or model enthusiast this build will be one to remember! The Mercedes Benz Actros from Tamiya is one of the finest in the Tamiya 1/14 semi truck line up!
This is a highly accurate 1/14 scale radio control model that recreates the Mercedes Benz Actros 3363 3-axle truck. The Actros series debuted in 2011 and was named 2012 Truck of the Year. Powered by a 15.6-liter inline-6 turbocharged diesel putting out a max of 630hp, the actual 3363 can haul up to 250 tons!
The Tamiya rendition faithfully captures the truck's modern form with the use of ABS plastic body parts and a number of metal chassis components. One look at the detailed interior and auxiliary equipment, such as air tanks, will confirm that the body features replica-quality realism, which is further enhanced with metal transfers depicting emblems and numerous metal-plated parts. The chassis is built for durability as it uses aluminum side channels with resin cross members. Drivability is accomplished by power from the front-mounted motor and is transmitted via a propeller shaft to the rear axle; built-in differential gears guarantee smooth cornering. Gear changes can be made via a separately-sold 4-channel transmitter.
The Actros' realism can be further heightened with separately-available trailers that can be attached to its coupler and make the model over a meter in length!
The included 3 speed gearbox allows you to shift on the fly!
- Low (forwards and backwards)
- Medium (forwards and backwards)
- High (forwards and backwards)
The must have multi function unit gives your Tamiya 1/14 semi truck some attitude by lighting it up with LED lights (which work with the operation of the vehicle for example, when the truck is turning left the left indicator flashes), adding realistic vibrations (idle and starting vibrations etc), and of course, the sounds!

Important: When you're choosing your remote controller for your Tamiya semi truck, you need to figure if you want to use a MFU (Multi Function Unit). Your choice is between an analog or digital trimmed 4ch radio.
If you plan on using your Tamiya semi without an MFU, you can use either analog or digital.
If you plan on using your Tamiya semi with an MFU, you can only use an analog remote controller like the Tamiya Attack 4YWD.
How can I tell if my remote has analog or digital trim?
- Analog remote trims slide from one end to the other
- Digital remote trims are switches and click in either direction (no sliding)
