TIMBERRRRR!!
Volvo is a renowned actor in the global commercial vehicle market, with one of their flagship brands being the FH Series that underwent a full model change in 2012. This R/C model assembly kit recreates the 750hp 16.1-liter turbocharged inline-6 engine FH16 Globetrotter 750 6x4 timber truck from that range. The model has a realistic body, and a chassis featuring numerous metal parts. Gear changes are also possible via transmitter controls.
Ladder frame features aluminum side channels with resin cross members. Depictions of stakes and cab rear headboard use a durable combination of resin and metal. Power from the front-mounted motor is delivered to rear axles via propeller shaft. A built-in differential gear on each axle enables smooth cornering. Highly-realistic suspension utilizes metal leaf springs and friction dampers. The model enjoys easy driving thanks to the float-mounted die-cast front and reinforced resin rear axles. The highly accurate body captures the FH16 Globetrotter form, with stainless steel photo-etched front grille, and cab interior details. TR Mighty Tuned motor (35T) provides plenty of power, even when driving with loads.
