Description
The Arocs series is a line of heavy-duty models introduced in 2013 by the world’s leading truck manufacturer, Daimler Truck AG. This R/C model assembly kit recreates the Arocs 4151 8×4 dump truck (gross vehicle weight: 41t), which runs on a 12.8-liter turbocharged inline-6 engine capable of 510hp. The highly realistic polystyrene body has been pre-painted in the Tamiya Color TS-52 Candy Lime Green and given a lustrous urethane topcoat. The distinctive “bucket tooth” grille is recreated using separate parts. Features rooftop light pods, a realistic interior that includes a one-piece bed that is reinforced by a metal frame. The ladder frame chassis features aluminum side channels with plastic cross members. Both front axles are steered by a single servo. Power from the front-mounted 35T TR Mighty Tuned Motor is delivered to the twin rear axles via propeller shaft. A highly-realistic suspension utilizes metal leaf springs and friction dampers. Tandem die-cast front axles have individual leaf springs, and reinforced plastic rear axles are a trunnion design. The assembly type 3-speed transmission allows gear changes via a separately available 4-channel transmitter.
