Product detailed description

Remotely-controlled truck model kit with pre-painted body in attractive green.

Scale 1/14
Length: 667 mm

Height: 268 mm.

The Arocs 4151 body is made of solid ABS injection-molded plastic. It has many details, including the depiction of the cab moldings, the intake manifold and other details. Separate parts create the rear-view mirrors and sun visor, etc. Both front axles are controlled by a single servo. The wheels turn realistically at slightly different angles. The 4-axle Tamiya chassis has a durable ladder frame with aluminum side members and plastic cross members. It includes a completely new part, the tipper body, composed of a metal subframe for excellent durability. For a completely realistic tipper body, install the separately sold tipper drive kit (item 56545). The powerful TR (35T) electric motor provides the dual rear drive axles with enough power to transport heavy loads on the loading bed. The new battery compartment is located above the second axle and allows access even when the bed is loaded. The roof is equipped with beds that can be equipped with LEDs for realistic lighting. The 3-speed transmission can be controlled using the separately sold 4-channel RC transmitter. Metal shock absorbers combined with leaf springs provide durable chassis suspension. Use with the separately sold MFC-03 (item 56523) (or MFC-01, item 56511) for realistic lights and sounds.

Required to purchase:
- Remote control with at least 4 channels - Carson Reflex Stick 500501006 (6-channel), 500501003 (14-channel) or 500501004 (14-channel + LCD display) is recommended

- ESC controller or TAMIYA MFC-03 300056523 multifunction unit for steering, lighting and sound functions

Explanation of abbreviations: KIT - unassembled model supplied in kit form.

RC model car kits from the Japanese brand Tamiya are characterized by the best features. Thanks to the very clear building instructions and the thoughtful division of building parts into marked bags, even a complete beginner can handle the construction. Even the basic version of the model from the kit gives a perfect impression of a beautiful RC model, but each Tamiya car kit provides wide tuning options. This kit will give you an incomparable feeling of joy when you build an RC truck model yourself. For children and young people, this is a great way to get to know the construction of a real truck.

The Tamiya chassis in this kit is characterized by a high model construction. The rear axle/axles are driven via a 3-speed gearbox with cardan shafts and differentials. One of the three speeds (gear ratios) can be selected manually using mechanical stops (or remotely via an RC transmitter and servo shift). This model has a very attractive appearance, excellent performance and driving characteristics.

The model can be built either as a basic model with only speed and direction control, or as a fully illuminated and sound model using the Tamiya Multifunction-Unit MFC-01 (American tractors) or MFC-03 (European tractors) for trucks. With this MFC, the model gains a completely new level, thanks to realistic lighting, a high-quality sound module and remote control of all functions via an RC transmitter. The model completion options are listed below.

Alternatives to possible model completion:

1. The simplest version

Functions - proportional forward/reverse, right/left, manual gear selection.

Additional purchase required: 2 - 3 channel RC kit, ESC controller, steering servo, drive battery, charger, transmitter batteries, plastic spray paint.
We recommend the complete Carson 500501015 kit, which contains everything you need, or we will help you select individual components upon request.

2. The most perfect design
Functions - proportional forward/reverse, right/left, remote gear selection, remote control of lights (3 circuits, a large number of combinations), functional turn signals, reverse and brake lights, realistic sounds of the engine, air system, brakes, horn, etc.
Additional purchase required: 4 - 6 channel RC kit, Tamiya MFC-01 or MFC-03 electronic control unit, steering servo, gear shift servo, drive battery, charger, transmitter batteries, plastic spray paint.
We recommend the Carson FS 6K Reflex Stick II 2.4GHz Transmitter 500501006, Carson 6kg servo, and the Carson Delta Peak 4A charger set with battery 5000607013.

WARNING! This RC car is not a toy, but a more sophisticated, functional model that behaves very much like a real car. Given its realistic parameters, if it is not properly assembled and properly controlled, it can cause injury to you, or injure a viewer, or damage property. The model is intended for driving in a large room, or outdoors on a dry surface, in no case can it be driven in water, snow, puddles, mud, sand, tall grass, on public roads and other places (e.g. parking lots) with car traffic without additional waterproofing. High "hairy" carpets are also unsuitable surfaces. This model requires regular maintenance.
