Handbuilt Scale Styling of the Scania R470 Highline Metallic

The Tamiya 56321 Scania R470 Highline Metallic Special is a standout 1/14 scale RC tractor truck that recreates the look and presence of the full-size Scania R470. The chrome metallic bodywork gives an eye-catching finish while the kit delivers an engaging build process for experienced modellers.

Detailed Appearance and Practical Access

The aerodynamic body and finely modelled front grill mirror the real truck, while the cab tilts independently from the wings to improve access during maintenance. A ladder-frame chassis made from aluminium channels and resin cross members forms a stiff, reliable base for the assembly.

Drive System and On-Road Performance

Fitted with a 3-speed transmission, the Tamiya Scania R470 lets you change gears with a compatible 4-channel transmitter. Suspension uses metal leaf springs together with coil spring dampers front and rear, and the mix of a die-cast front axle and resin rear axle with differential gear helps balance durability and scale accuracy.

Trailer Fitment and Upgrade Paths

The kit includes a coupler that works with Tamiya 1/14 scale trailers so you can add semi trailers from the range. A Type 540 motor is supplied, while battery, charger and the recommended 4-channel transmitter are sold separately. Plenty of hop-up options exist if you want to tune performance or refine the appearance.
