Tamiya 56353 1/14 Mercedes-Benz Actros 3363 Gigaspace Pearl Blue Kit  [56353]

High Fidelity Replica of the Tamiya 56353 Mercedes-Benz Actros 3363

The Tamiya 56353 Mercedes-Benz Actros 3363 Gigaspace Pearl Blue Edition stands out among 1/14 scale tractor trucks thanks to its faithful proportions and pre-painted bodywork. The kit mirrors the real Actros appearance while offering robust build quality that appeals to serious RC builders and collectors.

Origins and Real-World Heritage

The Mercedes-Benz Actros range launched in 2011 and quickly gained recognition, including the 2012 Truck of the Year award. Famous for its 15.6-liter inline-6 turbocharged diesel and heavy haul capability, the Actros 3363 is a flagship design. Tamiya captures that engineering spirit with detailed ABS body parts and metal chassis elements that reflect the truck's modern silhouette.

Precision Build and Scale Detail

This model includes finely modelled features such as auxiliary lights, realistic air tanks, and metal transfers to boost authenticity. The chassis combines aluminum side channels with resin cross members for strength, while the front-mounted motor sends drive to the rear via a propeller shaft and differential gears to aid cornering and traction.

Upgrades and Add-On Options

Beyond the stock build, the Tamiya 56353 supports a 3-speed transmission controllable from a 4-channel radio and can accept Tamiya's Multi-Function Control Unit for LEDs and sound. Builders can attach optional trailers sold separately to extend the setup to over a metre in length for realistic scale operations.

The Tamiya 56353 Mercedes-Benz Actros 3363 makes a rewarding kit for modellers who value scale accuracy and mechanical fidelity. Whether you enjoy detailed builds or practical running, this model offers scope for customization and display.
