Scale-accurate MAN TGX 18.540 4x2 XLX model from Tamiya

Built for model truck fans who enjoy precise detail, the Tamiya MAN TGX 18.540 4x2 XLX kit delivers an engaging build and authentic styling. The assembly captures the modern profile of the real truck while giving hobbyists a satisfying construction process and dependable on-road performance.

Finish and bodywork that mirror the prototype

The body arrives pre-painted in Tamiya TS-10 French Blue and protected with a clear coat to keep the finish resilient. Molded from high-quality ABS plastic, the shell reproduces the cab lines and contours accurately. Metal transfers and plated components are supplied to enhance the realistic look for detailed display.

Durable chassis layout and drivetrain details

The model sits on a two-axle chassis featuring aluminum side rails and resin cross members for a strong but manageable frame. A front-mounted motor connects through a propeller shaft to the rear axle, with differential gearing for stable cornering. The selectable 3-speed transmission works with a separately sold 4-channel transmitter for in-motion gear changes.

True-to-life cabin and running gear compatibility

The cab tilts forward like the full-size truck, and the suspension uses metal leaf springs with friction dampers to simulate authentic movement. A standard coupler is fitted for use with Tamiya 1/14 scale trailers, making it easy to expand your rig for hauling runs.
