Introduction to the Mercedes-Benz Actros 1851 Black Edition by Tamiya 56342

The Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Actros 1851 GigaSpace Black Edition is a faithful 1/14 scale kit that captures the styling of a heavy-haul tractor. Pre-painted Metallic Black bodywork and trim parts give the model a refined look while preserving the detailed moulding Tamiya is known for.

Scale Authenticity and Cabin Styling

The real Actros is noted for long-distance performance and comfortable cabin space, and this model mirrors those traits with accurate GigaSpace cabin proportions. The result is a compact but realistic replica that reflects the production truck's presence.

Powertrain, Chassis and Customisation Options

Mechanical components include a 2WD RWD driveline with a precision gearbox and dog bone driveshafts, plus a gear differential for controlled torque transfer. Leaf springs paired with aluminium friction dampers emulate the heavy vehicle suspension. The aluminium and plastic chassis parts give a good compromise between rigidity and weight. An ESC is not included so you can select a controller to match your motor and intended use. LED light buckets are included for authentic illumination when fitted with LEDs.

Collectors and drivers seeking a realistic, customisable tractor truck will find the Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Actros 1851 Black Edition a dependable base for both display and on-road running.

Yes, since the kit does not include an ESC, you can fit a modern speed controller that matches your motor and battery choice to achieve the performance you want.
Tamiya models are well known for scale fidelity; the GigaSpace cabin shape, grille and exterior trims are modelled to reflect the real truck's proportions closely.
An intermediate skill level helps, but careful builders with patience can complete the kit. Pre-painted parts reduce painting time, though some modelling skills are useful for tidy assembly.
The LED buckets accept standard LEDs for headlamps and rear lights; you can wire them to a small switch or the receiver to create realistic lighting effects while driving.
