This 1/14 recreation of the MAN TGX captures the character of the full size cab while keeping the model approachable for hobbyists. Tamiya has reproduced the truck in fine detail to give realistic looks and functional chassis engineering.
The model features a ladder style chassis built from aluminum channels joined to ABS parts, and uses metal leaf springs plus friction dampers to recreate how a heavy tractor feels on the road. Rear differentials improve cornering and load handling.
The included 3-speed transmission operates through a 4-channel radio, enabling in-run gear changes for better control at different speeds. This behaviour helps when negotiating scale loads or slow precision manoeuvres.
The cab comes pre-sprayed in Tamiya TS-54 Light Metallic Blue and sealed with a urethane finish for enhanced durability. Metal plated pieces and transfers add convincing branding and trim around the cab.
To extend realism, add the optional MFC-01 Multi-Function Control Unit for lighting, sounds and vibration effects. It pairs well with the built in ESC to produce natural low speed responses.
This Tamiya TGX 26.540 6x4 XLX is a strong choice for modellers who want a true to scale truck that accepts upgrades and provides rewarding driving behaviour on varied surfaces.
