Tamiya 58683 - Mercedes-Benz Actros MP4 Racing Truck TT-01 Type-E 1/14 Scale  [58683]

Race-ready Scale Replica of the Mercedes Actros

The Tamiya Mercedes Actros Racing Truck, model number 58683, reproduces the on-track character of the Tankpool24 entry from the 2019 European Truck Racing Championship. Built at 1/14 scale, the three-piece polycarbonate body combines accurate race livery with a durable construction suited to practice runs and display alike, capturing details from the original race rig driven by Norbert Kiss.

TT-01 Type-E Chassis Features

The heart of this kit is the TT-01 Type-E chassis, known for its shaft-driven 4WD layout and a low center of gravity that improves balance on corners. Motor and battery placement keep weight low while the fiberglass reinforced nylon upper deck and gear covers add stiffness. The three-piece tie rod layout refines steering feel, and a wide selection of Hop-Up Options is available for tuning both performance and durability.

Scale Detail and On-Track Handling

Mounted on 70mm radial tyres with model-specific high sidewalls, the truck delivers predictable grip and smooth turn-in for drivers at all levels. Separately molded components for mirrors, light housings, and the grille emblem enhance authenticity, and the included sponsor decals complete the race-ready appearance.

Tamiya 58683 blends accurate race styling with a chassis that responds to upgrades, making it a solid choice for collectors and racers who want a realistic truck platform to develop driving and setup skills.
