The Tamiya 23648T offers a true-to-life 1/14 replica of the Scania R470 Highline with functional details and quality construction. Scania's R-series first appeared in 2004 and earned the 2005 International Truck of the Year recognition.
The model mirrors the aerodynamic shape of the real R470 and features a cabin that tilts forward independently from the fenders. Small scale parts such as the mesh grille and inner fender shaping enhance the overall authenticity.
A sturdy ladder chassis made from aluminum channels and resin cross members supports the drivetrain and adds rigidity. The included 3-speed transmission works with a 4-channel radio to change ratios, while metal leaf springs with coil dampers provide robust support on varied run surfaces.
Driven by a Type 540 motor, torque is delivered to the rear via a propeller shaft with a low-friction pin-type joint. The model arrives assembled and finished; installing a 6-cell battery and compatible charger is the usual next step to get it on the track or display stand.
Whether used as a detailed display piece or a baseline for upgrades, the Tamiya 23648T offers reliable mechanics and accurate looks for serious scale builders.
