Overview
Flagship Scania Heavy Hauler with Unmatched Scale Realism
The Tamiya Scania 770 S 8×4 is a 1/14 scale electric R/C tractor truck assembly kit that recreates one of the most powerful and prestigious heavy‑haul trucks in the world.

About the Scania 770 S 8×4
Body & Scale Details
The Scania 770 S features a highly detailed injection‑molded cab with accurate proportions, sharp body lines, and realistic surface textures. Scale accessories include a detailed auxiliary machinery tower, fuel tanks, air tanks, roof bar with light pods, cab steps, mirrors, mud flaps, and metal‑style emblems.
The interior is fully detailed with a modern dashboard, seats, and trim, and a 1/14 scale driver figure is included to enhance realism. Light buckets allow the installation of optional LEDs for an even more authentic appearance.
Chassis, Suspension & Drivetrain
The truck is built on a ladder‑frame chassis with aluminum side channels, closely mirroring the construction of the full‑scale Scania. Power is transmitted through a three‑speed transmission to dual driven rear axles, delivering smooth, realistic torque at scale speeds.
Both front axles steer using a single servo, while the second front axle functions as a manually operated lift axle, allowing it to be raised or lowered just like the real truck. Suspension is handled by metal leaf springs with aluminum dummy dampers, producing authentic ride movement and load behavior.
Electronics & Expansion
The Scania 770 S 8×4 is designed to work seamlessly with Tamiya’s optional Multi‑Function Control Unit (MFC‑03), enabling synchronized engine sounds, lighting, vibration, and horn functions. This kit layout allows builders to create a fully immersive, realistic R/C trucking experience.
