The Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Actros 1851 GigaSpace is a perfect replica of the Truck of the Year 2012. The model features the high roof version of the 510 hp top version, of the world's largest truck manufacturer. Chrome-plated components, such as the mighty Mercedes star, give the 458 mm long and around 3 kg heavy kit its prototypical appearance. Particularly striking on the latest addition, in Tamiya's unsurpassed truck series, are the illuminated position lights, chrome fanfares and standard wide tires. Other new details such as two additional blind spot mirrors and the finely reproduced fuel tanks characterize the prototypical appearance. Thanks to its powerful electric motor, which delivers its torque to the rear axle via a shiftable 3-speed manual transmission, impressive teams can be put together. The prototypical fifth wheel of the remote-controlled model allows it to be coupled with numerous Tamiya and Carson-Model Sport trailers. With the optionally available multifunction unit, the TAMIYA Mercedes-Benz Actros simulates almost all sound and light functions of its great role model, the king of the roads.
