Tamiya Mercedes Benz Arocs 4151 8x4 Dump Truck (Candy Green) (47523)

This electric RC car assembly kit is based on the Arocs 4151, a 41-ton heavy-duty dump truck equipped with a 510 horsepower, 12.8-liter inline-6 ??turbo engine, part of the Arocs heavy-duty truck series introduced in 2013 by Daimler AG, the world's largest truck manufacturer. It features an M-cab specification, modeled using precision molds. The massive, ship-shaped loading platform is painted in candy lime green with a urethane clear top coat finish. Some parts, such as the air tank, are painted semi-gloss black. The unique "bucket teeth" front grille is a separate part. The roof is fitted with a high bar with light pods, an option on the actual vehicle, and the cabin interior is also recreated. The loading platform is constructed from an aluminum frame for ample strength. The chassis features a ladder frame with aluminum channel side rails and resin cross members. The two front axles are steered by a single servo, and the power of the front-mounted TR Mighty Tune motor (35T) is transmitted to the two rear axles. A built-in differential gear provides smooth cornering, and the assembly-type 3-speed transmission allows for fun gear changes on the fly with RC control. The suspension also boasts authentic metal leaf springs and friction dampers. The two die-cast front axles are tandem-mounted with leaf springs, while the two reinforced resin rear axles are trunnion-mounted.

[Optional Parts for Further Realism]
?1/14 RC Dump Truck Electric Actuator Set
This parts set allows you to raise and lower the bed via transmitter operation. It includes a precision geared motor-driven cylinder and link mechanism, and the ACU-01 unit that controls motor movement. It can lift the bed even when loaded with up to 10 kg. It also includes a manual switch.
The Euro-Style Multi-Function Unit (MFC-03)
features a built-in ESC, enabling both normal and extremely low-speed driving. This multi-function control unit synchronizes realistic sounds with the truck's various actions and synchronizes chassis vibrations to create a powerful presence. The engine sound, in particular, is sourced from the heartbeat of a real vehicle equipped with a large-displacement diesel engine. The engine sound changes with speed, from idle to full throttle. In addition, nearly all sounds from a real vehicle are reproduced, including the sound of an air dryer, air exhaust, and braking. Stop lights, turn signals, and backup lights respond to your movements, while headlights, fog lights, and hazard lights can be turned on and off via the transmitter.
To activate the taillights (red, white, or yellow), you will need the separately sold ?3 LED long cords (ITEM 56549, ITEM 56550, ITEM 56551).
