This R\/C model assembly kit recreates the 750hp engine FH16 Globetrotter 750 8x4 tow truck from that range. The model has a realistic cab and body which are pre-painted in silver, with a glossy urethane topcoat applied – just paint details such as window frames in black to finish the job! A photo-etched front grille and interior details add further realism to the mode, and the doors on the body also open. Its fascinating towing mechanism uses plenty of metal parts and winch boom, underlift and outriggers are movable manually. The front mounted TR Mighty Tuned motor (35T) provides ample power to the two rear axles, via a three-speed transmission. Gear changes are also possible via transmitter controls, and the model can tow subjects such as 1\/14 scale R\/C tractor trucks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003eOptional Extras for Ultra Realism\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003eItem 56553 Electric Actuator Set for 1\/14 Scale R\/C Tow Truck\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003eThis separately sold set allows raising of the winch boom and underlift via R\/C controls.
