Tamiya 1/14 Scale Volvo FH12 Globetrotter 420 RC Truck Model Kit

The FH series semi-tractor truck was released in the fall of 1993 and became Volvo's primary truck. In 1994, it was awarded the prestigious "Truck of the Year" title. It's huge 12-liter inter cooled turbo diesel engine was known as the "Euro 2", and was the result of state-of-the-art engineering technology for its day.

The Tamiya rendition faithfully captures the truck's form with the use of ABS plastic body parts and a number of metal chassis components. The chassis is built for durability as it uses aluminium 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 Tamiya 4-channel transmitter which controls the shift changes to the 3-speed transmission.

  • Length: 440mm
  • Width: 188mm
  • Height: 295mm
  • Wheelbase: 272mm

 

FEATURES:

  • The chassis utilises a tough ladder frame with aluminium side channels. A realistic drivetrain setup sees the front mounted motor powering the rear axle.
  • 3-speed transmission can be controlled via a 4ch R/C transmitter. (Sold Separately)
