Tamiya 23648T Scania R470 Highline 1/14 Finished Collector Truck  [23648T]

Detailed Look at the Tamiya 23648T Scale Replica

The Tamiya 23648T faithfully reproduces the Scania R470 Highline in 1/14 scale, combining accurate bodywork with serviceable mechanical components. The R-series arrived on the scene in 2004 and was awarded International Truck of the Year in 2005.

Scale Appearance and Cabin Motion

Attention to scale proportions is clear in the aerodynamic cab and a forward-tilting cabin that moves independently of the wheel arches. The model includes a mesh grille and well modelled inner fenders to reinforce authenticity up close.

Chassis Engineering and Suspension Details

The chassis uses aluminum channels with resin cross members to form a ladder frame that supports the drivetrain and body. A 3-speed transmission can be toggled with a 4-channel transmitter, and the pairing of metal leaf springs with coil dampers provides controlled motion over bumps.

Motor, Driveline and Power Choices

A Type 540 motor turns the rear wheels through a prop shaft using a pin-type joint to help reduce friction. Although supplied as a finished model, many owners fit a 6-cell battery and a compatible charger to begin driving or to test upgrade components.

The Tamiya 23648T suits collectors and scale drivers seeking faithful detail and a solid platform for electronics and performance tweaks.
