TIMBERRRRR!! Volvo is a renowned actor in the global commercial vehicle market, with one of their flagship brands being the FH Series that underwent a full model change in 2012. This R/C model assembly kit recreates the 750hp 16.1-liter turbocharged inline-6 engine FH16 Globetrotter 750 6x4 timber truck from that range. The model has a realistic body, and a chassis featuring numerous metal parts. Gear changes are also possible via transmitter controls. ★Ladder frame features aluminum side channels with resin cross members. ★Depictions of stakes and cab rear headboard use a durable combination of resin and metal. ★Power from the front-mounted motor is delivered to rear axles via propeller shaft. A built-in differential gear on each axle enables smooth cornering. ★Highly-realistic suspension utilizes metal leaf springs and friction dampers. The model enjoys easy driving thanks to the float-mounted die-cast front and reinforced resin rear axles. ★The highly accurate body captures the FH16 Globetrotter form, with stainless steel photo-etched front grille, and cab interior details. ★TR Mighty Tuned motor (35T) provides plenty of power, even when driving with loads.
★This view shows off the brand new timber bed design, complete with stakes to keep the lumber load intact. ★Optional on the actual truck, the roof lamps give a realistic look, with horn, antennae and more. ★The distinctive side mirrors are recreated faithfully, by metal-plated parts for an authentic finish. ★Here is a close-up of the photo-etched parts, which adorn the finely molded depiction of the cab. ★3-speed transmission allows gear changes on the move when used with a separately-sold 4ch transmitter. ★Rear trunnion type suspension mimics that of full size trucks. The friction damper has a metal cylinder. ★A close-up of the dual rear tires, which are given realistic tread pattern for plenty of grip. ★There is plenty of detail, highlighted here by side guards, tank shield and sanding gear depictions. ★Metal-plated resin headboard and resin stake components secure durability and superb realism. ★We haven't forgotten the details - the rear steps are recreated by resin parts with a plated finish. ★Why not use the separately sold MFC-03 unit to light up components such as the square taillights? ★Chains and lever block parts are also included in this comprehensive kit, for display purposes. ★Fitting the separately sold MFC-03 unit will also allow lighting up of headlights, fog lamps and more. ★Why not load up your timber truck with some realistic papercraft lumber - templates below!
