Mercedes-Benz Arocs 4151 8x4 Tipper Truck
Item No: 56366

Length: 667mm. Image shows painted and assembled kit.

Tip-Top!
The Arocs series is a line of heavy-duty models introduced in 2013 by the world’s leading truck manufacturer, Daimler AG (Germany). This R/C model assembly kit recreates the Arocs 4151 8x4 dump truck (gross vehicle weight: 41t), which runs on a 12.8-liter turbocharged inline-6 engine capable of 510hp. It features a highly detailed body with distinctive bucket tooth front grille as a separate part. The roof has a front bar with light pods, and the inside of the cab is also depicted. Behind the cab, a realistic one-piece resin bed is reinforced with a metal frame, while the ladder frame chassis features aluminum side channels with resin cross members. The two front axles are steered via a single servo, and power from the front-mounted TR Mighty Tuned Motor (35T) is delivered to rear axles via propeller shaft, with a built-in differential gear on each rear axle for smooth cornering. Its highly-realistic suspension utilizes metal leaf springs and friction dampers. Tandem die-cast front axles have individual leaf springs, and reinforced resin rear axles are a trunnion design. The assembly type 3-speed transmission allows gear changes via a separately available 4-channel transmitter.

★The single-piece ABS plastic bed is combined with an aluminum frame to ensure plenty of durability as well as realism.

★The distinctive Arocs front grille is depicted, using separate parts, while the emblem is recreated by a plated component.

★Side mirror surfaces are also metal plated parts, and accurately capture the curved surface. The big duct is also rereated.

★The model's battery pack is contained in a dedicated case over the second axle, allowing battery changes even when the bed is loaded.

★There are even display options available on this model, such as the choice of depicting cab rear ladders deployed or stowed.

★Both of the front axles are controlled by a single steering servo. Note that the slight difference in wheel angle is captured.

★A 3-speed assembly type transmisson and TR Mighty-Tuned Motor (35T) are in the kit to ensure durable and realistic running.

★The trunnion design suspension is inspired by full-size trucks, and features special reinforced plastic axles plus metal leaf springs.

★The model features stylish metal-plated wheels both front and rear, the former having single tires, and the latter having dual tires.
