Tamiya 56360 - 1/14 Volvo FH16 Globetrotter 750 Timber Truck Kit  [56360]

Detailed Volvo FH16 Model by Tamiya 56360

The Tamiya 56360 - 1/14 Volvo FH16 Globetrotter 750 6x4 Timber Truck is a scale-focused kit that combines faithful styling with genuine mechanical elements. It is designed for enthusiasts who enjoy precise assembly and realistic truck operation.

Authentic Appearance and Interior

Body panels are moulded in ABS to recreate the original truck shape, with a stainless photo-etched front grille and a finely detailed cab cabin. Resin and metal parts are used for the stake sides and rear headboard to ensure both scale detail and durability.

Chassis Engineering and Suspension

The ladder frame construction features aluminium side channels with plastic cross members, supporting metal leaf springs and friction dampers. A 3-speed gearbox can be controlled through a separately sold 4-channel transmitter for realistic gear selection.

Drive Components and Motor

Fitted with the TR Mighty Tuned 35T motor, the model produces steady drive suitable for loaded operation. The front-mounted motor sends power to the rear through a propeller shaft, with differentials on each axle helping with traction and turning.

Options, Fitments and Finish

Tamiya supplies compatible option parts to customise the model's performance or looks. Installing a Multi-Function Control unit will require longer LED leads since the default lamp cabling is too short. To finish the build you will need a 4-channel radio, one servo, ESC, a 7.2V battery and Tamiya TS-Paint.

The Tamiya 56360 Volvo FH16 suits experienced modellers and collectors who value a realistic truck kit with functional mechanics and scope for upgrades.
