Tamiya 1/14 Scania R470 Highline Electric RC Truck Kit
Tamiya proudly presents the R470 Highline, one of the trucks belonging to Swedish manufacturer Scania's International Truck of the Year 2005 award-winning R Series. Body features replica-quality realism and the chassis features numerous metal parts for the frame and suspension for an added sense of volume. Assembly of the 3-speed transmission is effortless, and when used with a 4-channel transmitter, it will give fans full control of realistic gear shift operations. Beautifully reproduced cabin tilts forward separately from the fenders, just like the actual truck. The interior and exterior of the fenders themselves have also been accurately modelled for the most realistic look possible. Kit-included coupler enables linkage with any of Tamiya's currently available 1/14 scale trailers, and the R470 is compatible with a wide range of Tractor Truck Option Parts as well.
Gear shifts can be fully controlled during driving for added realism.

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)
