Tamiya Grand Hauler (Matt Black)
Looking Great in Black
Take control of your very own big rig – this R/C model assembly kit recreates a massive boxy, customized truck like those seen in North America. Body parts are given a sumptuous finish, pre-painted in metallic black and with a matte top coat that contrasts superbly with the numerous metal-plated parts. The model’s ladder frame chassis features aluminum side channels with resin cross members and is equipped with a highly realistic suspension utilizing metal leaf springs and dampers. A front-mounted motor and 3-speed transmission power the two rear wheel axles, which are fitted with built-in differentials to enable smooth cornering. A 4-channel R/C system and multi-function unit allow you to drive the vehicle and experience realistic lights, sounds and vibrations.

Realistic Lights, Sounds, and Vibration
