A Tribute to the Real Mercedes-Benz Actros
The Mercedes-Benz Actros series debuted in 2011 and quickly earned accolades, including the 2012 Truck of the Year award.

Detailed Craftsmanship and Realism
This RC model features a meticulously recreated body with auxiliary lights, air tanks, and metal transfers that enhance its realism. The durable chassis uses aluminum side channels and resin cross members, ensuring stability and longevity. With the motor mounted at the front, power is efficiently transmitted to the rear axles via a propeller shaft, allowing for smooth cornering thanks to differential gears.

The 3-speed transmission can be controlled using a 4-channel transmitter, providing a dynamic driving experience. Additionally, the model is compatible with Tamiya's Multi-Function Control Unit, which can add realistic LED lights and sounds.
