Tamiya 1/14 RC Scania R470 Silver Edition Truck Kit

The Tamiya 1/14 RC Scania R470 Silver Edition Truck Kit is a 1/14 scale 4WD truck kit. 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 452mm long with a 272mm wheelbase.

Tamiya supply a Type 540 motor in the box.
