Scale Trucking with the Tamiya 56370 MAN TGX 26.540 6x4 XLX

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.

Chassis Design and Suspension Details

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.

Shift Between Three Speeds with Ease

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.

Factory Finish and Metal Trims

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.

Add Lights and Sound with the MFC Unit

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.

Build time varies by experience, but expect several evenings to complete assembly, paint prep is minimal due to pre-painted parts. Take time with mechanical assembly for best reliability.
The chassis and suspension suit smooth tarmac, car parks and light off road like compacted gravel. Avoid very rough terrain unless you upgrade suspension components.
Lighting is not included by default, but you can fit the MFC-01 unit to add scale lights and sounds. Wiring space is provided on the chassis for accessories.
