DESCRIPTION
Tip-Top!
The Arocs series is a line of heavy-duty models introduced in 2013 by the world’s leading truck manufacturer, Daimler AG (Germany). This RC 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. It features a highly detailed body with distinctive bucket tooth front grille as a separate part. The roof has a front bar with light pods, and the inside of the cab is also depicted. Behind the cab, a realistic one-piece resin bed is reinforced with a metal frame, while the ladder frame chassis features aluminum side channels with resin cross members. The two front axles are steered via a single servo, and power from the front-mounted TR Mighty Tuned Motor (35T) is delivered to rear axles via propeller shaft, with a built-in differential gear on each rear axle for smooth cornering. Its highly-realistic suspension utilizes metal leaf springs and friction dampers. Tandem die-cast front axles have individual leaf springs, and reinforced resin rear axles are a trunnion design. The assembly type 3-speed transmission allows gear changes via a separately available 4-channel transmitter.
- The Arocs 4151 form is recreated with an injection molded body, including depictions of cab rails, intake duct and other details. Separate parts recreate side mirrors and visor, etc.
- Both front axles are steered, via a single servo. Wheels turn realistically at slightly different angles.
- The Tamiya 4-axle chassis has a tough ladder frame with aluminum side channels and plastic cross members.
- Features a brand-new truck bed section comprised of metal subframe for superb durability.
- Install the separately sold Actuator Set (item 56545) for realistic truck bed motion.
- TR mighty-tuned motor (35T) provides twin rear axles with ample power to carry loads in the truck bed.
- The new battery case is located over the second axle, which allows access even when there are loads in the bed.
- The roof features a depiction of light pods on the visor, which can be fitted with LEDs for a realistic finish.
- 3-speed transmission can be controlled via a separately sold 4-channel RC transmitter.
- Metal leaf spring dampers with built-in coil springs provide durable suspension.
- Use with separately sold MFC-03 (item 56523) or MFC-01 (item 56511) for realistic lights and sounds.
