The Arocs series is a line of heavy-duty models introduced in 2013 by the world's leading truck manufacturer, Daimler Truck AG. This R/C model assembly kit recreates the Arocs 4151 8x4 dump truck (gross vehicle weight: 41t), which runs on a 12.8-liter turbocharged inline-6 engine capable of 510hp.
The highly realistic polystyrene body has been pre-painted in the Tamiya Color TS-52 Candy Lime Green and given a lustrous urethane topcoat; the distinctive "bucket tooth" grille is recreated using separate parts, and there is plenty more to enjoy with rooftop light pods and a realistic interior.
- A realistic one-piece bed is reinforced by a metal frame.
- The ladder frame chassis features aluminum side channels with plastic cross members.
- Both front axles are steered by a single servo.
- Power from the front-mounted 35T TR Mighty Tuned Motor is delivered to the twin rear axles via propeller shaft.
- Highly-realistic suspension utilizes metal leaf springs and friction dampers.
- Tandem die-cast front axles have individual leaf springs, and reinforced plastic rear axles are a trunnion design.
- The assembly type 3-speed transmission allows gear changes via a separately available 4-channel transmitter.
This is a highly exact 1/14 scale radio control model that recreates the Mercedes-Benz Arocs dump truck in the 8x4 configuration. It features a highly realistic truck bed section behind the cab which can be operated by the radio transmitter, using the separately sold Actuator Set (Item 56545)! Unlike our earlier release, this version of the Arocs comes is a color variation. The cab and other parts are pre- painted in TS-52 Candy Lime Green and TS-29 Semi-Gloss Black, with a urethane top coating for a high- quality finish.
The model's ladder frame chassis features aluminum side channels with resin cross members and is equipped with a highly realistic suspension using metal leaf springs and friction shock-dampers. A front-mounted motor and 3-speed transmission power the two rear wheel axles, which are fitted with built-in differentials to enable smooth cornering. A separately sold 4-channel R/C system and multi-function unit allow you to drive the vehicle and experience realistic lights, sounds and vibrations. (Both sold separately)
