Tamiya 1/14 Red Mercedes Benz AROCS 3348 6x4 Tipper Scaled Truck Kit

Whether you're a (real) truck driver or model enthusiast this build will be one to remember! The Mercedes Benz AROCS 3348 6x4 dump tuck from Tamiya is a high detailed, scaled remote controlled 1/14 truck that you build up yourself and you get the joy of actually using it once you've finished! 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 (Item 56545)!

This is a special edition of the R/C Mercedes Benz Arocs tipper truck kit (Item 56357), the stylish 3-axle truck with movable bed and distinctive bucket tooth grille. It is a great option for R/C enthusiasts without the time or confidence to apply a paint job to their creation, as parts come pre-painted in TS-8 Italian red (cab) and TS-17 Gloss aluminum (rear bed), and given a urethane clear coating for a beautiful, lasting finish.
