The Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Actros 1851 GigaSpace is a perfect replica of the Truck of the Year 2012. The model showcases the high-roof version of the 510 hp top variant from the world's largest truck manufacturer. Chrome parts, such as the powerful Mercedes star, give the 458 mm long and approximately 3 kg heavy kit its authentic appearance. Particularly striking about the latest addition to Tamiya's unparalleled truck series are the illuminated position lights, chrome horns, and standard wide tires. Additional new details, such as two extra blind-spot mirrors and finely detailed fuel tanks, enhance the realistic look. Thanks to its powerful electric motor, which delivers torque through a switchable 3-speed transmission to the rear axle, impressive combinations can be assembled. The realistic hitch plate of the remote-controlled model allows for coupling with numerous Tamiya and Carson model sport trailers. With the optionally available multifunction unit, the Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Actros simulates nearly all sound and light functions of its larger counterpart, the king of the roads.
