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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
If you enjoy building accurate scale trucks and want a platform that takes additional accessories and tuning, the Tamiya TGX 26.540 6x4 XLX is a capable and authentic choice.
