Tamiya 58683 - Mercedes-Benz Actros MP4 Racing Truck 1/14 TT-01E  [58683]

Realistic Replica Inspired by the European Truck Series

The Tamiya Mercedes Actros Racing Truck, model number 58683, is a faithful 1/14 scale reproduction of the Tankpool24 entry from the 2019 European Truck Racing Championship. The three-piece polycarbonate body captures authentic race shapes and sponsor artwork while remaining robust enough for repeated track sessions and display.

What the TT-01 Type-E Brings to the Table

Built around the TT-01 Type-E chassis, this model features a shaft-driven 4WD system and a layout that keeps heavy components close to the ground for improved stability. The fiberglass reinforced nylon upper deck and protective gear covers increase chassis stiffness, and the three-part tie rod setup improves steering accuracy. Plenty of hop-up parts are available for those wanting to push performance further.

Scale Fidelity and Driveability

The truck runs on specially sized 70mm radial tyres with high sidewalls for consistent grip and forgiving handling. Separately moulded parts for mirrors, light units, and the grille emblem add to the authenticity, while the decal sheet supplies the sponsor livery for a race-correct finish.

Tamiya 58683 offers a convincing blend of scale realism and a chassis that responds to set-up changes, making it a versatile pick for both display collectors and circuit-focused hobbyists.
