Tamiya 1/14 Man TGX 26.540 6X4 XLX Electric RC Truck Kit

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 aluminum 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.
