Tamiya 56350 - 1/14 Scale RC MAN TGX 18.540 4x2 XLX Truck Kit (French Blue) Retro Cab Replica  [56350]

Authentic scale truck modelling: MAN TGX 18.540 4x2 XLX by Tamiya

Designed for hobbyists who enjoy faithful reproductions, the Tamiya MAN TGX 18.540 4x2 XLX kit reproduces the modern truck silhouette in 1/14 scale. The construction process gives a satisfying balance of assembly work and realistic running characteristics.

Factory paint and body fidelity

This version ships with a pre-applied Tamiya TS-10 French Blue paint finish topped with a protective clear coat. The ABS body captures the cab curvature and grille detail, while plated parts and metal transfers add convincing highlights for display accuracy.

Engineered chassis and drivetrain components

The model uses a two-axle chassis with aluminium side channels paired with resin cross members for a reliable platform. Power is delivered from a front-mounted motor through the propeller shaft to the driven rear axle, and the differential setup promotes smooth turns. The 3-speed transmission works with a separately purchased 4-channel radio to change gears during driving.

Functional cab and towing options

The tilting cab reflects the prototype service access, and metal leaf springs combined with friction dampers simulate suspension motion. The factory coupler is compatible with Tamiya 1/14 trailers, allowing you to build a full rig for towing demonstrations.

With accurate styling and a practical drivetrain, the MAN TGX 18.540 4x2 XLX kit makes a solid addition to any collection that values scale realism and hands-on building.
