Tamiya 58683 - 1/14 Mercedes Actros MP4 Racing Truck TT-01E Edition  [58683]

Scale Accuracy and Race DNA in the Actros Model

The Tamiya Mercedes Actros Racing Truck, model number 58683, recreates the appearance of the Tankpool24 machine from the 2019 European Truck Racing Championship. At 1/14 scale the model uses a three-piece polycarbonate shell to capture authentic body lines while remaining resilient for track use and display, reflecting the real truck campaigned by Norbert Kiss.

Overview of the TT-01 Type-E Platform

Powered by a shaft-driven 4WD system, the TT-01 Type-E chassis is engineered for balance and durability. The layout keeps the motor and battery low to improve handling, and the fiberglass reinforced nylon upper deck and gear covers boost torsional rigidity. Steering response is improved by the three-part tie rod arrangement, and a wide selection of Hop-Up Options lets racers tailor setup to circuit or surface.

Tyres, Wheels and Scale Finish

Fitted with 70mm diameter radial tyres and model-specific high sidewalls, the Actros delivers consistent traction and stable cornering. The kit includes separately moulded parts for mirrors, light lenses, and the grille badge for accurate scale realism, with sponsor decal sheets to complete the livery.

Tamiya 58683 combines scale-accurate styling and a chassis that responds well to setup changes, making it a rewarding project for hobbyists who enjoy both building and fine-tuning their models.
