Detailed Racing Replica from Tamiya

The Tamiya 58683-60A reproduces the Mercedes-Benz Actros MP4 run by Tankpool24 in the 2019 ETRC season, giving modellers a realistic race truck to build and run. The kit focuses on scale accuracy and on-track presence.

Robust Polycarbonate Construction

This Actros model has a three-piece polycarbonate body designed for accurate shape and durability. Separately moulded details let you add finishing touches that bring the race livery to life.

Proven TT-01E Chassis Platform

The TT-01 Type-E chassis uses a shaft-driven 4WD system with a low centre of gravity for stable handling. The motor and battery placement create a balanced feel, and a fibre-reinforced top deck reduces flex during spirited running.

Ride Characteristics and Customisation

Equipped with 70mm radial tyres tailored for truck racing, this model delivers steady grip and predictable steering behaviour. The chassis supports a range of hop-up parts for competitors who want more precision and speed.

Tamiya 58683-60A suits model racers and collectors who want an accurate truck body on a versatile, upgrade-friendly chassis.

What paint is best for the body panels?

Use polycarbonate-safe paints and thin, even coats. Mask carefully for sharp graphics and allow adequate cure time before handling.

Should I add chassis braces for track use?

Adding braces and stiffer mounting points can reduce unwanted flex and improve high-speed stability, especially on smoother circuits.

Are spare parts readily available?

Tamiya hop-up parts and replacement components for the TT-01 series are widely available, making maintenance and upgrades straightforward.

What radio setup should I use for truck control?

A reliable 2-channel radio with a mid-speed servo provides consistent steering response; use endpoint adjustment to fine-tune travel.

Can I run this model on road courses and club tracks?

Yes, the TT-01E chassis handles tarmac circuits well when set up with appropriate tyres and suspension tweaks for lower roll and sharper turn-in.
