Replica of the 2019 Actros Race Truck by Tamiya

The Tamiya 58683-60A recreates the Mercedes-Benz Actros driven by the Tankpool24 squad in the 2019 ETRC season. This kit captures the look and race-oriented lines that made the real truck stand out during close competition.

Three-Piece Polycarbonate Shell and Detail Work

The model uses a three-piece polycarbonate body for authentic contours and robustness. Small separately moulded items increase realism and allow hobbyists to finish a convincing race truck livery.

TT-01E Chassis Details

The TT-01 Type-E chassis provides a shaft-drive 4WD setup with a low centre of gravity for improved stability. The motor and battery layout reduce roll, and the reinforced nylon upper deck improves rigidity for spirited driving.

Driving and Setup Notes for Racers

With 70mm racing truck tyres and high sidewalls, the model offers forgiving handling and good feedback. The TT-01E accepts a variety of hop-ups so you can tune steering response and traction to suit different surfaces.

The Tamiya 58683-60A is suitable for detail-focused builders and racers wanting a solid base to modify and personalise.

Painting lexan requires trimming and masking before using compatible paints; apply light coats and allow proper drying between layers for best results.
The chassis is designed for a 7.2V pack; using LiPo cells needs careful voltage matching and an ESC that supports LiPo chemistry to avoid damaging electronics.
Begin with tyre pressure and ride height, then adjust toe and camber. Small incremental changes help you find a balanced setup for cornering and straight-line stability.
