Inspection of the Mercedes-Benz Actros 1851 Black Edition from Tamiya 56342

The Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Actros 1851 GigaSpace Black Edition is a 1/14 scale representation aimed at recreating the presence of a long-haul tractor. Several exterior components arrive pre-painted in Metallic Black to give a premium finish and cut down build time for custom projects.

Real Truck Influence and Cab Space

The Actros platform is recognised for its long-distance capability and driver-focused cabin design. Tamiya reproduces the GigaSpace roofline and proportions to echo the spacious interior and aerodynamic styling seen on the road-going vehicle.

Drive System and Suspension Details

This kit uses a 2WD RWD driveline with a robust gearbox and dog bone shafts. A gear differential provides balanced torque split, while metal leaf springs and aluminium friction dampers emulate the heavy vehicle suspension feel. The chassis combines aluminium sections with plastic components to keep the structure rigid yet manageable. The ESC is not supplied, leaving the choice of speed control to the builder. LED light buckets are supplied for authentic lighting setups.

Whether you plan cosmetic upgrades or electronic modifications, the Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Actros 1851 Black Edition provides a detailed platform that responds well to tuning and customisation.
