Scale road rig: Tamiya MAN TGX 18.540 4x2 XLX

For modellers who favour accurate truck replicas, this Tamiya MAN TGX 18.540 4x2 XLX kit recreates modern cab styling at 1/14 scale. It balances detailed assembly work with practical drivability for hobby runs and display.

High quality paint and trim

The model body is finished in Tamiya TS-10 French Blue with a protective clear layer to preserve gloss. Injection-moulded ABS captures the cab shapes and panel lines, while plated trim parts and transfers add authentic chrome effects.

Solid chassis engineering and driveline

The two-axle chassis uses aluminium side channels combined with resin cross members to provide a stiff yet serviceable frame. A front-mounted motor sends torque through a prop shaft to the rear axle, with differentials to control cornering. The 3-speed gearbox operates when paired with a separately purchased 4-channel radio for realistic gear shifts.

Practical scale features and trailer fitment

The tilting cab mirrors real service access and the leaf spring suspension with friction dampers reproduces load movement. The built-in coupler fits Tamiya 1/14 trailers, so you can run linked rigs for convoy displays.

The MAN TGX 18.540 4x2 XLX from Tamiya provides a rewarding build and dependable mechanics, ideal for scale runs and static display alike.

Basic modelling tools such as screwdrivers, pliers and hobby knives are sufficient. A small socket driver and tweezers make assembly neater and faster.
A standard 7.2V stick pack fits the layout and provides reliable runtime without modifications to the battery tray.
Yes, the kit is well suited to club runs and display convoys when fitted with the necessary radio gear and battery; tyres are better for tarmac and smooth surfaces.
You can repaint or add decals, but be careful when lifting the factory finish. If repainting, remove the clear coat and prep the ABS surface for adhesion.
