Tamiya Scania R620 6×4 Highline 1/14 truck (Blue Edition)

Scintillating realism

Scania is a world-famous manufacturer of large trucks and buses, and this is an R/C model of the 620hp V8-powered 3-axle R620 6X4 Highline, the flagship model of their 2005 International Truck of the Year-winning R-Series range. The characteristic styling of the truck’s body is reproduced down to the smallest detail. The cabin tilts forward just like the actual truck and the included grille mesh and metal transfer emblems further enhance the realism look of the truck. The model features a ladder frame chassis with aluminum channels, 3-speed transmission, suspension with metal leaf springs and friction dampers, and rear axles equipped with differentials. Exterior details such as side panels, fuel tanks, and rear fenders provide the finishing touches. Kit-included coupler enables linkage with any of Tamiya’s currently available 1/14 scale trailers, and the R620 is compatible with a wide range of Tractor Truck Option Parts as well.
