Scale Craft and Function in the Tamiya 23805 Volvo FH16

Tamiya continues to deliver models that appeal to scale purists and active drivers alike. The Tamiya 23805 Volvo FH16 Globetrotter reproduces the lines and interior cues of the real lorry while providing a capable driving platform for model truck sessions.

Keep mechanical joints clean, check for loose fasteners, and inspect springs and gear meshing after runs to maintain reliable operation.
A 7.2V NiMH pack is a commonly recommended choice for compatibility with the 540-brushed motor, offering predictable performance and run times.
Yes, the chassis and body mounting points allow for adding scale accessories and loads to personalise the truck for shows or dioramas.
