Tamiya Announces 1/14 French Blue Edition MAN TGX
Tamiya recently announced a new Special Edition Tamiya 1/14 scale replica R/C MAN TGX 4x2 XLX truck kit. The kit includes beautifully pre-painted body panels in Tamiya French Blue. It is also clear coated for extra durability and acts as a form of protection and prevention from any damage to the paintwork and it also adds more in-depth looking color.
Tamiya has captured a very realistic looking replica of the MAN TGX 18.540 4x2 modern truck with all its details from ABS molded plastic body parts. Just looking at the interior, it comes with a dashboard, steering wheel and seats that look incredibly realistic. The exterior is also filled with all the details you'd come to expect from the actual truck, like the auxiliary parts such as the air tanks, lights, side mirrors and coupler. To add some extra bling, all the metal parts such as the emblems, grill, side steps and vents are finished in a really nice chrome finish.
The chassis uses an aluminium C channel rail on each side and a resin cross member so it’s built for durability. For the drivetrain, it utilizes a front motor and gearbox that is linked to the rear axle via a propeller shaft. With the built-in differential gears, you are able to achieve smooth cornering and huge pulling power. Gear changes can be made by a 4 channel transmitter (sold separately)
