Tamiya 56371 Scania 770 S 8x4/4 Detailed 1/14 Replica
Built for modelers who value engineering accuracy, the Tamiya Scania 770 S 8x4/4 captures the presence of the real truck in a 1/14 scale package. The full-size Scania 770 S, launched in 2020, is known for its V8 turbocharged engine rated at 770 horsepower, and this kit mirrors its character through careful scale detailing.
Cab Build and Scale Detail
Tamiya reproduces the Scania cab with precision molding, showing items like the auxiliary machinery tower, fuel and air tanks, and other small fittings that define the truck's profile. Metal parts in the chassis add weight and authenticity while reflecting the double rear-axle drive and twin front-axle steering layout of the original.
Suspension, Axles and Gearbox
The suspension uses metal leaf springs and a functioning lift axle to reflect real-world mechanics. A 3-speed assembly-type transmission is included, allowing gear changes when used with a separately sold 4-channel transmitter to create a more convincing driving feel.
Optional Multi-Function Upgrades
To expand realism, the separately available Multi-Function Control Unit (MFC-03) supplies lights, sound and vibration effects. The detailed interior, including a modern dashboard and seats, complements those extra features for a more immersive run.
Personalisation and Finish
The kit comes with a 1/14 driver figure, cab decals and metal transfers so you can customise the look. Required to complete the model are a 4-channel Tamiya Attack radio, two servos, an ESC, a 7.2V battery and charger, plus paints and finishing tools.
