Tamiya 56362-56553 - 1/14 Volvo FH16 Globetrotter 750 Tow Truck Kit  [56362-56553]

Realistic 1/14 Scale Volvo FH16 Globetrotter Tow Rig

The Tamiya 56362-56553 joins the 1/14 scale truck range with a faithful recreation of the Volvo FH16 Globetrotter 750, designed for scale RC enthusiasts who want authentic looks and mechanical detail. The kit captures the heavy-duty stance and cab presence of the original vehicle.

Faithful Replication of Volvo Details

This model reproduces key Volvo FH16 cues, including interior details and fine photo-etched grilles. The real FH16 is known for its 750hp classification, and the kit reflects that character through its sculpted cab and accessory parts. The front twin steering setup improves low-speed control and scale maneuvering.

Durable Metal Chassis and Drive Components

Metal parts strengthen the model where it matters: an aluminum ladder frame and resin cross members form the backbone, while a front-mounted motor transmits torque to the rear axles through a propeller shaft and differential for steady handling. Metal leaf springs and friction dampers make up the suspension layout for a realistic ride quality.

Expandability with Actuators and Controls

The model is ready for upgrades such as the Actuator Set (Item 56553) to operate the winch boom and underlift from your transmitter. It also accepts the Multi-Function Control Unit "Euro-Style" (MFC-03) to add advanced lighting and sound functions for a more immersive display.

This Tamiya Volvo FH16 Globetrotter tow truck kit makes a rewarding build for collectors and drivers who want a scale-accurate tow rig with upgrade paths for actuation and electronics.
