Tamiya 56362-56553 - 1/14 Volvo FH16 Globetrotter Tow Truck Kit Special Edition  [56362-56553]

Authentic Tow Truck Model of the Volvo FH16 Globetrotter

The Tamiya 56362-56553 reproduces the Volvo FH16 Globetrotter 750 in 1/14 scale, delivering the look and mechanical layout appreciated by scale truck modellers. The kit focuses on accurate cab detail and functional chassis components.

Cab Craftsmanship and Scale Accuracy

This R/C kit captures the FH16 exterior and interior cues, including photo-etched grille work and detailed cabin elements. The real truck's 750hp classification informs the model's rugged styling. Twin front steering enhances the kit's realistic handling characteristics.

Strong Chassis and Mechanical Layout

The kit employs an aluminum ladder chassis with resin cross members and metal fittings for longevity. Power transmission flows from a front motor through a propeller shaft to the rear with a differential for predictable cornering, while metal leaf springs and friction dampers provide stable suspension action.

Plug-In Upgrades for Actuation and Effects

Fit the Actuator Set (Item 56553) to operate the winch boom and underlift remotely, and consider the Multi-Function Control Unit "Euro-Style" (MFC-03) for advanced lighting and audio effects to complement the scale appearance.

This Tamiya Volvo FH16 Globetrotter tow truck kit is a solid choice for builders wanting a sturdy, upgradeable scale tow vehicle with authentic features and steering options.
