The Scania 770S 8x4 / 4 is a real workhorse! It is the heavy-load design of the Scania 770S - the top model from Scania. Tamiya has thus imitated one of the most beautiful and strongest heavy load tractors in 1:14 scale.The S series from Scania includes a V8 Turbo engine with 770PS. The 8x4/4 means that the original is driven on 4 wheels and the two front axles are steered. Exactly these functions are also reproduced in the Tamiya model: The model is powered via both rear axles and with a 3-speed manual transmission. The two front axles are controlled via a steering servo and have, as in the original, different steering angles.The second axis can be lifted. The wheels can be raised (lift) or lowered via a mechanical lever on the top of the chassis.A highlight is the true to original heavy load tower behind the driver's cab. In this heavy-duty tower are the pressure vessels for a realistic appearance.The body parts are already pre-painted in TS-38 Gun Metal.This text is machine translated.
