Tamiya Dump truck Mercedes Benz Arocs

The Tamiya truck for tough construction site use. The Mercedes Benz Acros 4151 8x4 is a real heavyweight on the construction site. Tamiya has modified the proven chassis for this truck: The truck has 4 axles as in the original. The two rear axles are driven by a powerful 540 electric motor. The two front axles are steered by a servo (sold separately). The steering angle of the two axles is different, so that a true to original driving behavior is achieved. The frame has a subframe to accommodate the newly designed dump body. The dump body has been reinforced with a metal subframe and can be controlled by the optional Tamiya ACU-01 unit (56545). The distinctive design of the new Arocs is as extraordinary as the truck as a whole. For example, a radiator grille in the so-called digger's tooth look has been built into the look specially developed for construction vehicles, which is intended to convey the message: "bite through and grab hold". In keeping with the robust appearance, special protective grilles for the lighting system are fitted to the bumper.

The 667 mm long and around 4 kg heavy kit model can be used to put together impressive combinations. Under the forward tilting cab you will find the proven and robust Tamiya truck technology. A new Mighty-Tuned 35T electric motor delivers power to the two rear axles via a shiftable 3-speed gearbox. A detailed aluminium ladder frame gives the model the necessary stability and flexibility. A towing hitch (e.g. Carson 500907182) can be attached to the rear part of the frame to pull trailers. With the optionally available multifunction unit almost all sound and light functions of the prototype can be simulated deceptively real.
