The Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Actros 1851 GigaSpace is a perfect replica of the Truck of the Year 2012. The model showcases the high-roof version of the 510 hp top variant from the world's largest truck manufacturer. Chrome parts, such as the powerful Mercedes star, give the 458 mm long and approximately 3 kg heavy kit its authentic appearance. Particularly striking features of the latest addition to Tamiya's unmatched truck series include the illuminated position lights, chrome horns, and standard wide tires. Additional new details, such as two extra blind-spot mirrors and finely detailed fuel tanks, enhance the realistic look. Thanks to its powerful electric motor, which transmits torque through a switchable 3-speed gearbox to the rear axle, impressive combinations can be assembled. The realistic fifth wheel of the remote-controlled model allows coupling with numerous Tamiya and Carson model sport trailers. With the optionally available multifunction unit, the Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Actros simulates nearly all sound and light functions of its large counterpart, the king of the roads.
