Tamiya #58683 1/14 Mercedes-Benz Actros MP4 MB Motorsport Race Truck
Get Racing!
This model recreates the Mercedes Actros as raced by the Tankpool24 team in the 2019 ETRC (European Truck Racing Championship). This specific recreation depicts the truck that carried the team to 4th place on the year, with veteran Hungarian driver Norbert Kiss 6th overall in the drivers’ standings. The realistic body is a 3-piece set made from lightweight and durable polycarbonate, with separately molded plastic side mirrors, coupler and rear bumper parts. The TT-01 Type-E chassis is a proven performer, and this chassis is fitted with dedicated semi-truck wheels and tires for the model.
TT-01 E Chassis
The bathtub frame of the evolved shaft-driven 4WD TT-01 Type-E has its motor and battery close to the ground for lower center of gravity and optimum balance. Mounted on the bathtub frame is a fiberglass reinforced nylon upper deck and gear covers improving rigidity, as well as a 3-piece tie rod providing a smoother steering action. The low center of gravity, great balanced design, 4-wheel double wishbone suspension system, and front and rear differential gears all come together to produce excellent operating ability. 70mm-diameter radial tires are paired with wheels developed just for this model; the high sidewalls make for forgiving turns.
Key Features:
The complex, muscular form of the cab is recreated in polycarbonate, and made up of three separately molded components.
A glance at the rear shows a great deal of realism, with depictions included of the turbocharger, frame and other sections.
At the rear of the model, notable features include a polycarbonate coupler depiction, plus a separately molded plastic bumper.
At the rear, deep rim wheel designs are used, with fine depictions of details such as the minute bolts. A touch of red in the center will look great!
