Tamiya 56346 - MAN TGX 26.540 6x4 XLX Gun Metal Edition Scale Lorry Replica  [56346]

Stylish gun metal livery on a faithful scale lorry

The Tamiya 56346 - 1/14 MAN TGX 26.540 6x4 XLX Gun Metal Edition reproduces the MAN TGX appearance at scale with a dark metallic finish. The model balances cosmetic detail and functional components to appeal to scale modellers who want a genuine-looking running model.

Accurate exterior trim and cabin fidelity

Key panels come pre-coated in Tamiya TS-38 Gun Metal for a durable, factory-style surface. The kit features a realistic interior with moulded seats and dashboard, along with metal-plated parts and transfers that add believable exterior detail. The cab tilts forward to mirror the access of the real vehicle.

Real-world inspired drivetrain and suspension

Under the body the MAN TGX 26.540 is designed to replicate mechanical behaviour. A 3-speed transmission provides staged gear changes, while metal leaf springs combined with friction dampers emulate realistic suspension response. The included coupler is compatible with Tamiya 1/14 trailers for authentic towing setups.

Assembly notes and recommended gear

This kit requires builder-supplied electronics including a 4-channel radio, an ESC and a 7.2V battery with charger. Those components allow you to tailor handling and performance and make upgrades straightforward for more advanced modellers.

For modellers who prioritise scale accuracy and practical running features, the Tamiya 56346 MAN TGX 26.540 6x4 XLX Gun Metal Edition delivers a convincing package that responds well to careful setup and upgrades.
