Tamiya 1/14 Tankpool24 Racing Mercedes-Benz Actros MP4 (TT-01E)

The Tamiya 1/14 Tankpool24 Racing Mercedes-Benz Actros MP4 (TT-01E) is a 1/14 scale 4WD truck kit, built on Tamiya’s TT-01 chassis. It arrives as a box of parts rather than a finished car, so you assemble the chassis, fit the electronics and paint or trim the body before the first run.

Finished, it measures 441mm long with a 257mm wheelbase. The body is polycarbonate, so it takes knocks better than a hard shell.

Tamiya supply an electronic speed controller in the box.
