Scale truck fans looking for an accurate assembly project will enjoy the Tamiya 56373 Scania 770 S 6x4 Silver Edition. The kit recreates the styling and presence of Scania's premium S Series in a compact 1/14 package.
The production Scania 770 S 6x4 is noted for its heavy duty capability, running a 16.4-liter V8 diesel turbo engine that produces 770 horsepower. Tamiya reproduces the look with a pre-painted TS-17 Gloss Aluminum body and a urethane top coat to mimic the factory finish.
The RC model adopts the double rear-axle 6x4 configuration and places the motor and gearbox toward the front. A ladder frame built from aluminum side channels and plastic cross members keeps the structure true to the prototype, while metal leaf springs and friction dampers provide realistic suspension action.
The kit includes a detailed interior and can be upgraded with optional LED lighting kits for greater realism. The assembly-type 3-speed transmission operates via a separately purchased 4-channel radio allowing on-the-fly gear selection.
This Tamiya Scania 770 S 6x4 Silver Edition is suited to serious modellers who want a high level of scale detail and a drivetrain that mimics real truck behaviour.
