This assembly kit not only embodies the sleek, modern look of the MAN TGX line but also delivers an engaging building experience and robust driving performance.

Paintwork and Construction: A Testament to Realism

Chassis and Drivetrain: Built for Performance

Underneath its detailed exterior, the truck features a sturdy 2-axle chassis with aluminum side channels and resin cross members, providing a balance of strength and flexibility. The front-mounted motor transmits power via a propeller shaft to the rear axle, while differential gears ensure smooth cornering. For those seeking a more interactive driving experience, the 3-speed transmission can be controlled via a separately sold 4-channel transmitter, allowing for realistic gear changes on the move.

Authentic Features and Compatibility

True to Tamiya's commitment to realism, the model includes a cabin that tilts forward, mirroring the functionality of the real truck. The suspension system, composed of metal leaf springs and friction dampers, mimics the movement of the full-scale vehicle. Additionally, the model is equipped with a coupler compatible with Tamiya's 1/14 scale trailers, expanding your RC trucking experience.

The Tamiya MAN TGX 18.540 4x2 XLX is a remarkable blend of scale realism and performance, ideal for both dedicated hobbyists and collectors. Its detailed construction and versatile driving options make it a compelling addition to any RC collection.
