Scale Realism in the Tamiya 56370 MAN TGX 26.540 6x4 XLX

This 1/14 scale TamiyaTGX reproduces the look and mechanical layout of MANs TGX 26.540 in a buildable kit. Attention to detail and a functional drivetrain make it a rewarding project for scale hobbyists.

Frame Construction and Suspension Setup

The truck uses a rugged ladder frame with aluminum channels and ABS reinforcements, complemented by metal leaf springs and friction dampers to simulate realistic suspension movement. Differential gearing on the rear axles helps with controlled turning and load stability.

Practical 3-Speed Transmission

The 3-speed gearbox is selectable from a 4-channel radio, allowing drivers to switch ratios while underway for better control during slow scale manoeuvres or more open running.

Pre-Finished Cab and Metal Accents

The cab comes ready in TS-54 Light Metallic Blue and has a protective urethane finish. Metal plated parts and transfers give accurate MAN branding and crisp trim detailing across the bodywork.

Optional MFC Unit for Enhanced Scale Operation

The separately sold MFC-01 Multi-Function Control Unit can add lighting, engine sounds and vibration effects, working in concert with the onboard ESC to deliver realistic low speed behaviour.

Yes, you can fit LED lighting by using the MFC-01 or by wiring LEDs directly to a suitable ESC output. Plan wiring routes under the cab and use heatshrink for secure connections.
The chassis is designed around a 7.2V battery pack as standard. Slim NiMH packs or appropriately sized LiPo packs that fit the battery tray are commonly used, taking care to balance weight and space.
Yes, its accurate paint finish and metal trim make it well suited to display at shows. Many modellers add lighting and sound to enhance presentation value for exhibitions.
Upgrading to a different motor is possible but check mounting compatibility and gearing. If fitting a brushless motor, ensure the ESC and cooling are suitable for sustained use.
