Tamiya 23648T Scania R470 Highline 1/14 Finished Model Truck  [23648T]

Tamiya 23648T Scale Truck Breakdown

The Tamiya 23648T presents a faithful 1/14 scale version of the Scania R470 Highline with attention to styling and functioning components. The R-series made its debut in 2004 and the full-size model secured the International Truck of the Year title in 2005.

Authentic Cabin Details

This finished model captures cabin proportions accurately, including a forward-tilting cab that operates separately from the fenders. Close-up elements like the grille mesh and well defined fender interiors add to the authentic look.

Frame Design and Suspension

The robust ladder frame combines aluminum channels and resin cross members to support the drivetrain and cab. A built-in 3-speed gearbox is compatible with a 4-channel transmitter to change gears, while the mix of metal leaf springs and coil spring dampers helps stabilise the model over rough surfaces.

Mechanical Drive and Upgrades

A Type 540 motor supplies drive to the rear via a propeller shaft fitted with a pin-type joint to keep friction low. The model arrives finished, and hobbyists often fit a 6-cell battery and suitable charger to start testing performance modifications.

Collectors and scale drivers who value correct proportions and serviceable mechanics will appreciate the engineering in the Tamiya 23648T for display or running sessions.
