Experience Swedish Engineering with the Tamiya Volvo FH16 Timber Truck

For those who appreciate the art of scale modeling and RC engineering, the Tamiya 56360 - 1/14 Volvo FH16 Globetrotter 750 6x4 Timber Truck offers a remarkable blend of realism and performance. This model pays homage to the iconic Volvo FH16 series, renowned for its powerful 750hp engine and superior design. As an RC model enthusiast, you'll find this kit both challenging and rewarding, providing a deep dive into the world of tractor trucks.

Intricate Design and Realism

The Tamiya Volvo FH16 is crafted with precision, featuring an ABS plastic body that captures the unique silhouette of the real truck. The stainless steel photo-etched front grille and detailed cab interior bring authenticity to life. The stakes and cab rear headboard are constructed using a combination of durable resin and metal, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and structural integrity.

Advanced Engineering for Smooth Operation

At the heart of this model is a sophisticated 3-speed transmission, allowing gear changes through a separately sold 4-channel transmitter. Its ladder frame, made from aluminum side channels and plastic cross members, supports a robust suspension system with metal leaf springs and friction dampers. This ensures a smooth driving experience, even when the truck is fully loaded.

Powerful Performance

Equipped with the TR Mighty Tuned motor (35T), the Tamiya Volvo FH16 delivers ample power, making it capable of handling heavy loads with ease. The front-mounted motor transmits power to the rear axles via a propeller shaft, while differential gears on each axle facilitate smooth cornering.

Customization and Compatibility

For those looking to customize, Tamiya offers several compatible option parts. Additionally, if using Multi-Function Control units, longer-cabled LEDs are required, as standard cables are not compatible. This model requires a 4-channel radio, one servo, ESC, a 7.2-volt battery, and Tamiya TS-Paint to complete the setup.

The Tamiya 56360 Volvo FH16 is an ideal choice for seasoned RC hobbyists and collectors who appreciate detailed replicas with functional capabilities. Its mix of realism and performance ensures it stands out in any collection.
