Tamiya 56318 Scania R470 Highline 1/14 RC Cab Over Truck Kit  [56318]

Scale cab-over design with authentic proportions

The Tamiya Scania R470 Highline captures the cab-over silhouette of Scania's R-series in 1/14 scale, offering model truck builders an accurate base for painting and detailing. The kit emphasises correct panel lines and service features for a genuine look.

Cab and grille detail with service access

The model features a separately moulded mesh grille and a cab that tilts forward away from the fenders, replicating the real vehicle's service access. Fender interiors and body joints are modelled to support realistic finishing and weathering work.

Chassis engineering and suspension components

A ladder frame using aluminium channels and resin cross members forms a stiff chassis suited to scale running. Metal leaf springs coupled with coil spring dampers give believable suspension action while the die-cast front axle and resin rear axle with differential help maintain traction.

Powertrain layout and control compatibility

The kit includes a type 540 motor mated to a three-speed assembly transmission and is compatible with a separately supplied 4-channel transmitter for on-the-move gear changes. A pin-type propeller shaft joint reduces friction and improves drivetrain efficiency.

Whether displayed on a shelf or driven at scale meets, the Tamiya Scania R470 Highline kit gives a satisfying blend of model accuracy and mechanical reliability.
