Mastering the Track with Tamiya's Mercedes Actros Racing Truck
The Tamiya Mercedes Actros Racing Truck, model number 58683, is a stunning tribute to the formidable machine that competed in the 2019 European Truck Racing Championship. This 1/14 scale RC model mirrors the impressive presence of the Tankpool24 team’s truck, which earned a respectable fourth place finish in the season standings, driven by veteran racer Norbert Kiss. Its realistic polycarbonate body, crafted in three parts, captures the spirit of the racing giant while ensuring durability and performance on the track.
Chassis That Commands Respect
The TT-01 Type-E chassis lies at the heart of this racing marvel, known for its robust performance and adaptability. Designed with a low center of gravity, thanks to its shaft-driven 4WD system, the TT-01 Type-E ensures optimal balance with the motor and battery positioned strategically close to the ground. The fiberglass reinforced nylon upper deck and gear covers enhance rigidity, while the 3-piece tie rod system provides smoother steering control. For enthusiasts seeking customization, the TT-01 Type-E offers a plethora of Hop-Up Options to elevate your racing experience.
Attention to Detail and Superior Handling
Equipped with 70mm-diameter radial tires and custom wheels, the Actros Racing Truck offers superb grip and forgiving turns, making it an ideal choice for both novice and seasoned racers. The unique high-sidewall tires are specifically engineered for this model, ensuring stability and precision on diverse terrains. The inclusion of separately molded plastic parts for side mirrors, light cases, and the grille emblem further enhances the model’s authenticity, while the sponsor livery stickers complete its race-ready look.
