The Tamiya rendition of the MAN TGX 18.540 4×2 XLX faithfully captures the truck’s modern form with the use of ABS plastic body parts and a number of metal chassis components. One look at the detailed interior and auxiliary equipment, such as air tanks, will confirm that the body features replica-quality realism, which is further enhanced with metal transfers depicting emblems and numerous metal-plated parts. The chassis is built for durability as it uses aluminum side channels with resin cross members.  Drivability is accomplished by power from the front-mounted motor and is transmitted via a propeller shaft to the rear axle; built-in differential gears guarantee smooth cornering. Gear changes can be made via a separately sold 4-channel transmitter.

The model features a highly detailed body and a 2-axle chassis with durable ladder frame. When controlled with a separately available R/C system, the 3-speed transmission enables authentic gear changes while driving.

The MAN Can!
MAN is a German business concern renowned for their production of large transport vehicles such as trucks and buses. Their line-up includes the TGX series of trucks, which won them the International Truck of the Year 2008 award and includes the model recreated by this R/C assembly kit – the TGX 18. 540 4×2 XLX. The kit’s polycarbonate cab is joined by separate parts for the fuel tank, battery case, spare tires and more, for unparalleled realism. Metal-plated parts are employed to depict exhaust cover and mirror surfaces. The highly realistic ladder frame chassis uses numerous metal parts for solid and durable assembly, employing a 3-speed transmission that allows gear changes via a separately sold transmitter. Kit-included coupler enables linkage with any of Tamiya’s currently available 1/14 scale trailers, and the model is compatible with a wide range of Tractor Truck Option Parts as well.

Beautiful in Red
The kit includes a range of body parts pre-painted in stylish red: the cab, roof, spoiler, side skirts, front bumper and more. A clear top coat has been applied to the parts to ensure an excellent-quality finish. The kit requires assembly and painting of some parts in semi gloss black for you to complete your very own eye-catching truck.

Including real gearbox!
