1/14 R/C Volvo FH16 Globetrotter 750 8x4 Tow Truck, Our series of ultra-realistic 1/14 scale R/C trucks is a byword for fun, and offers a wide variety of different models and truck types. Now, it is to expand with another brand new type – the tow truck, which makes its living towing heavy duty vehicles such as tractor trucks. It promises a completely different element of enjoyment to predecessors in the series.

The FH16 is marketed by Volvo, a renowned actor in the global commercial vehicle market. The FH Series includes a 750hp 16.1-liter turbocharged inline-6 engine FH16 Globetrotter 750 8x4 tow truck. About the Model, This is a 1/14 scale R/C model assembly kit.

Length: 750mm, width: 195mm, height: 300mm. Features a detailed molded plastic depiction of the cab, with photo-etched front grille and interior features. This model’s front axles feature the first twin steering system seen in the Tamiya 1/14 Truck series.

The rear boom and underlift mechanism features plenty of metal components for excellent durability. Employ the new separately sold Actuator Set (Item 56553) to control them via R/C transmitter. Ladder frame has aluminum side channels and resin cross members.

Power from the front motor is delivered to the two rear axles via propeller shaft. A built-in differential gear on each axle enables smooth cornering. Highly-realistic suspension utilizes metal leaf springs and friction dampers.

The model enjoys easy driving thanks to the float-mounted die-cast front and reinforced resin rear axles. Three-speed transmission allows shifting via transmitter (only one gear is usable when towing).
