Add authentic winch action to the Tamiya Volvo Globetrotter 750

This actuator package brings credible winching and underlift movement to the Tamiya Volvo Globetrotter 750 8x4 Tow Truck. It enhances operating realism while keeping the installation compact and serviceable.

Smooth geared motor operation for accurate lifts

The ACU-01 control unit combined with a 7.2V 64:1 geared motor gives steady, low-speed motion, letting you raise and lower the boom with deliberate control and minimal jitter.

Manual toggle for quick, tactile control

When you want direct control, flip the built-in toggle to run the actuator manually. This is handy for setup, load adjustments, or when you prefer hands-on operation at the model.

Overload safeguard via clutch

The integrated clutch provides added protection from overloads, helping to avoid gear damage during demanding tow or recovery actions.

Specifications

  • Actuator Control Unit: ACU-01
  • Motor: 7.2V Geared Motor (64:1 ratio)
  • Operation: Manual and Remote
  • Safety: Clutch system for overload protection

This actuator kit is a practical upgrade for model fans who want believable winching and dependable protection, without complex modifications.

The ACU-01 handles actuator control, but you will need standard radio power and connections. Check compatibility with your receiver and power source before fitting.
Yes, the 64:1 gearing provides the lower RPM and higher torque needed for smooth, controlled winch and underlift movement.
Clutch wear is minimal with normal use, but replacement parts are available through parts suppliers. Keep a small stock of wear items if you run the model frequently.
The kit is designed for the Volvo Globetrotter 750 layout, but experienced modders may adapt mounts and linkages to other 1/14 trucks with some fabrication.
