The Tamiya Scania R470 Highline reproduces the character of Scania's R-series in a 1/14 scale RC kit. The bodywork is engineered for authentic lines, with a realistic mesh grille and a cab that tilts forward independently of the fenders for accurate service access and presentation.
Tamiya's craftmanship is evident in the aerodynamic cabin shape and the detailed front end. The kit uses fine mesh for the grille and carefully modelled fender interiors, giving a convincing scale appearance that appeals to builders focused on realism.
The ladder frame chassis combines aluminium channel rails with resin cross members to form a stiff backbone for the model. Metal leaf springs and coil spring dampers on both ends balance authentic suspension action with long term durability. A die-cast front axle is float-mounted on the leaf springs while the resin rear axle includes a working differential for smooth cornering.
Drive is handled by the included type 540 motor connected to a three-speed assembly type transmission. The kit is designed to work with a separately supplied 4-channel transmitter so you can shift gears in operation, and the pin-type propeller shaft joint helps reduce friction loss for reliable power transfer.
This Tamiya Scania R470 Highline kit is a satisfying build for scale truck fans and experienced modelers. It combines accurate styling with sturdy mechanical components to produce an authentic miniature haulage rig.
