Functional winch and underlift upgrade for the Tamiya Volvo Globetrotter 750

Designed to bring practical functionality to model towing operations, this actuator kit fits the Tamiya Volvo Globetrotter 750 8x4 Tow Truck and gives realistic, usable winch control for recovery and towing scenarios.

Precise movement with geared motor and ACU-01

The ACU-01 controller paired with a 7.2V motor with 64:1 gearing provides measured, low-speed actuation so the boom and underlift travel smoothly without abrupt starts or stops.

Manual override for immediate control

A toggle switch lets you operate the unit manually for quick adjustments or when running without full radio control. This manual option makes field tweaks straightforward.

Clutch protection for safer operation

The built-in clutch helps prevent damage from excessive loads by slipping under strain, prolonging the life of gears and motor components.

Specifications

  • Actuator Control Unit: ACU-01
  • Motor: 7.2V Geared Motor (64:1 ratio)
  • Operation: Manual and Remote
  • Safety: Clutch system for overload protection

This actuator kit is a solid choice for model builders wanting dependable winch function and simple manual control, while keeping component protection in mind.

What tools do I need to fit the actuator kit?

Basic hand tools, a small soldering iron for electrical connections, and a few metric screwdrivers are usually enough. A hobby knife and files help with trim and alignment.

How much current does the motor draw under load?

Current draw varies with load, but the 7.2V geared motor is engineered for efficient torque. Monitor battery voltage during heavy use to avoid excessive discharge.

Will using the winch shorten battery runtime?

All motorised accessories impact runtime. Expect some additional battery drain when operating the winch frequently; plan battery management accordingly.

Is the system suitable for display models as well as working rigs?

Yes, it adds convincing motion for display use and provides actual function for running models, making it versatile for both collectors and active hobbyists.
