Upgrade your Tamiya Volvo Globetrotter 750 with authentic winch control

This actuator kit brings practical winch boom and underlift functionality to the Tamiya Volvo Globetrotter 750 8x4 Tow Truck. It is aimed at modellers who want usable, realistic motion without overcomplication.

Smooth, low-speed actuation for accurate control

Featuring the ACU-01 control unit and a 7.2V motor with 64:1 gearing, the set delivers controlled, steady movement so you can position the boom and underlift with confidence.

Toggle for manual operation when needed

The included toggle switch enables manual operation for quick adjustments or when you prefer direct control over automated sequences.

Clutch mechanism protects the drive train

An integrated clutch provides overload protection, helping to prevent damage during heavy or stalled pulls and extending the service life of the system.

Specifications

  • Actuator Control Unit: ACU-01
  • Motor: 7.2V Geared Motor (64:1 ratio)
  • Operation: Manual and Remote
  • Safety: Clutch system for overload protection

For enthusiasts who value real-world operation, this winch control kit improves capability and adds mechanical protection for confident field use.

With correct use the system copes with regular light recovery tasks. For heavy or continuous towing avoid overloading and monitor clutch engagement.
Regularly inspect gears and clutch for wear, check wiring for secure joints, and ensure the motor mounting remains tight for consistent operation.
The kit is tailored to the Volvo Globetrotter 750 layout. Minor mounting adjustments may allow fitment to other 1/14 chassis, but expect some custom work.
