Race-Accurate Mercedes-Benz Actros Replica by Tamiya

The Tamiya 58683-60A reproduces the Tankpool24 Mercedes-Benz Actros MP4 from the 2019 ETRC season, providing a faithful scale interpretation for modellers who value authenticity and racing provenance.

Precision Moulding in Polycarbonate

Featuring a three-piece polycarbonate body, the kit captures the Actros contours and includes separate mouldings for small parts to enhance the finished appearance while retaining durability for active use.

TT-01E Chassis Performance Features

The TT-01 Type-E chassis delivers a shaft-driven 4WD system with a low centre of gravity, achieved by careful placement of the motor and battery. The reinforced nylon upper deck improves chassis stiffness for consistent handling.

Handling, Tyres and Modifications

Equipped with 70mm radial tyres made for racing trucks, the model offers predictable grip and forgiving behaviour through bends. The TT-01E is compatible with a wide range of hop-up parts for racers seeking improved lap times.

As a detailed scale kit on a versatile chassis, the Tamiya 58683-60A appeals to both collectors and competitive hobbyists who plan to tune and run their truck.

Intermediate skills are recommended for neat painting and trimming of the polycarbonate body, though careful beginners can achieve good results with patience.
Choose an ESC rated for brushed 540 motors and matched to your battery choice; many hobby-grade ESCs have adjustable braking and punch for truck use.
Regularly clean driveline components, check for loose screws, inspect tyres for wear, and reapply grease to diff gears as needed to keep performance consistent.
