Overview

This R/C model recreates the Mercedes Actros as raced by the Tankpool24 team in the 2019 ETRC (European Truck Racing Championship). This specific recreation depicts the truck that carried the team to 4th place in the team standings, with veteran Hungarian driver Norbert Kiss taking 6th in the overall drivers' standings.

The realistic body is a 3-piece set made from lightweight and durable polycarbonate, with separately moulded plastic side mirrors, coupler and rear bumper parts. The body is fitted on top of the proven TT-01 Type-E chassis and is equipped with dedicated semi-truck wheels and tyres for the model.

The TT-01 Type-E bathtub frame keeps motor and battery close to the ground for a low centre of gravity and optimum balance. A fibreglass-reinforced nylon upper deck and gear covers improve rigidity, and a 3-piece tie rod provides smoother steering action. The low centre of gravity, balanced design, 4-wheel double wishbone suspension, and front and rear differential gears produce an excellent drive. 70mm-diameter radial tyres are paired with dedicated racing truck wheels; high sidewalls make for forgiving turns.

Note

This body shell comes completely unpainted and may or may not require body post holes to be drilled. Only use a polycarbonate-style paint such as the Tamiya PS series to finish these bodies — standard paints will not adhere and/or may cause damage to the body shell's surface.

Side mirror detail

This is a close-up of the separately moulded side mirror parts; mirror surfaces are recreated with separate polycarbonate pieces.

Rear view — turbocharger and frame detail

A glance at the rear shows a great deal of realism, with depictions of the turbocharger, frame and other sections.

Rear coupler and bumper detail

At the rear of the model, notable features include a polycarbonate coupler depiction, plus a separately moulded plastic bumper.

Front wheels — plated finish and treaded tyres

Front wheels have a stylish plated finish and are paired with 70mm diameter treaded tyres.

Rear wheels — deep rim design with bolt detail

Deep rim wheel designs are used at the rear, with fine depictions of details such as the minute bolts.

Front double-wishbone suspension

A close-up on the front double-wishbone suspension, which offers a ground-hugging drive; the big bumper helps protect the chassis and body.

Rear double-wishbone suspension with friction dampers
