Tamiya 47329 - 1/24 Metal Plated Heavy Dump Truck Kit  [47329]

Heavy Metal Meets RC: Tamiya's 47329 Dump Truck

The Tamiya 47329 - 1/24 Metal Plated Heavy Dump Truck is not just another RC model; it's a statement piece for enthusiasts who appreciate both style and performance. This limited edition kit takes inspiration from the rugged aesthetics of heavy metal culture, transforming the classic dump truck into a mean machine ready to tackle various terrains.

A Chassis Built for Fun and Function

The heart of this model is the versatile GF-01 chassis, known for its robust 4WD capabilities. Unlike its predecessors like the Wild Willy 2 and the Farm King Wheelie, which were based on a 2WD platform, the GF-01 features a centrally mounted motor that powers both front and rear gearboxes. This setup ensures balanced power distribution, making it ideal for off-road adventures.

Design and Features That Stand Out

This dump truck doesn't just perform well; it looks the part too. The body is molded in black ABS plastic, with metal-plated chassis parts that add a premium touch. The wheels are also metal-plated, paired with substantial 115mm-diameter tires that handle rough surfaces with ease. The truck's realistic cab and rear bed can be adjusted between flat and raised positions, although it's recommended not to load the bed or drive with it raised.

The Tamiya 47329 Heavy Dump Truck is ideal for hobbyists who enjoy assembling kits and tackling diverse terrains. Its unique design and durable build make it a standout choice for collectors and those looking to expand their RC fleet with something truly distinctive.
