Meet the Tamiya 56362 Volvo FH16 Globetrotter Tow Truck Kit

Tamiya remains a go-to name for 1/14 scale R/C trucks thanks to reliable parts and accurate styling. The Tamiya 56362 Volvo FH16 Globetrotter 750 8x4 Tow Truck recreates the heavy-duty tow truck look while delivering practical chassis engineering for functional use.

Visual Accuracy and Road Presence

The FH16 cab is modelled with care, featuring an ABS body, photo-etched grille detail and interior trim that looks right at scale. Twin-steer front axles make tight turns and realistic steering inputs feel natural when driving slowly or lining up a tow.

Robust Frame and Running Gear

The ladder-style frame uses aluminium side channels and resin cross members to balance stiffness and weight. Power flows from the front motor to the rear axles through a prop shaft and differential gear set, while metal leaf springs and friction dampers recreate truck suspension behaviour.

Modding and Control Choices

Owners can add the Actuator Set (Item 56553) for remote-controlled functions, and the three-speed transmission lets you pick suitable ratios for hauling. The chassis also supports aftermarket LEDs and the Tractor Truck MFC-03 unit for combined lighting and control features.

The Tamiya 56362 Volvo FH16 Globetrotter 750 8x4 Tow Truck is well suited to modders and drivers who want both scale looks and practical upgrade paths.
