The Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Arocs 4151 captures the appearance and basic functions of a real tipper in a 1/14 package. It is aimed at modellers who want an operational truck bed together with true-to-life styling cues.
Careful injection-moulding reproduces cab features like side rails, mirrors and the visor with accurate proportions. The tipper section mounts to a metal subframe for added strength and a reliable base for upgrades.
A TR mighty-tuned motor (35T) propels the twin rear axles and the 3-speed gearbox replicates realistic shifting. Note that a 4-channel transmitter and additional electronics are required and sold separately.
The chassis uses aluminium side channels with resin cross members to balance stiffness and serviceability. Metal leaf springs and friction dampers give stable handling, and you can fit an MFC-03 or MFC-01 unit to bring lights and engine sounds to life.
The Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Arocs 4151 is a rewarding model for those who enjoy accurate builds with functional scale features.
