Description

Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Actros 3363 Pearl Blue 1/14 RC Tractor Truck – 56354

The Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Actros 3363 – 56354 is a highly detailed 1/14 scale RC tractor truck recreating one of Mercedes-Benz’s impressive heavy-haul machines.

This special version features an ABS cab finished in Pearl Blue, giving the truck a superb appearance straight from the box while retaining all the mechanical detail and realism for which Tamiya’s 1/14 truck range is renowned.

With its 3-axle 6×4 layout, working 3-speed transmission, aluminium ladder-frame chassis and detailed cab interior, the Actros 3363 makes an impressive model either on its own or coupled to one of Tamiya’s 1/14 scale semi-trailers.

Factory Finished Pearl Blue Cab

One of the highlights of this version is the beautifully finished Pearl Blue ABS body.

The distinctive modern shape of the Mercedes-Benz Actros is faithfully reproduced, with numerous scale details including mirrors, steps, air tanks and other auxiliary equipment.

Metal transfers are used for the Mercedes-Benz emblems and other details, while metal-plated components further enhance the truck’s realistic appearance.

Detailed Mercedes-Benz Actros 3363

The full-size Actros 3363 is an impressive heavy-haul tractor powered by a 15.6-litre inline-six turbocharged diesel engine producing up to approximately 630hp.

Tamiya’s 1/14 recreation captures the imposing proportions of the real truck while incorporating a detailed interior and realistic chassis equipment.

Aluminium Ladder-Frame Chassis

Underneath the detailed cab is Tamiya’s proven truck chassis, constructed using strong aluminium side channels with resin cross members.

The combination provides a durable foundation for the truck while maintaining the scale appearance of a full-size commercial vehicle chassis.

6×4 Drivetrain

The Actros uses a realistic three-axle 6×4 configuration, with the two rear axles driven.

Power from the front-mounted motor is transferred through the drivetrain to the rear axles, with differential gears helping provide smooth operation when cornering.

Working 3-Speed Transmission

A major feature of Tamiya’s 1/14 tractor trucks is the working 3-speed transmission.

When used with suitable multi-channel radio equipment and a gear-change servo, the driver can remotely select gears while the truck is running – adding considerably to the driving experience and mechanical realism.

Realistic Leaf-Spring Suspension

The chassis features leaf-spring suspension, helping recreate the construction and movement of a full-size heavy truck.

Combined with the multi-axle layout, long wheelbase and detailed chassis components, the Actros has a convincing scale presence both on display and while being driven.

Compatible with Tamiya 1/14 Trailers

The rear fifth-wheel coupling allows compatible Tamiya 1/14 scale semi-trailers to be attached.

Once coupled to a trailer, the completed combination can extend to over one metre in length, creating an extremely impressive RC model.
