Tamiya RC Guidebook Vol.24 (2024 AUTUMN-WINTER) is now available, featuring a selection of Tamiya’s major RC models. The book includes Tamiya’s major RC models, including off-road cars that can be driven anywhere, classic touring cars and formula cars that allow you to enjoy high-speed driving, tanks and trailer trucks with impressive big sizes, 3-wheel RCs that are notable for their tilting body for cornering, and XBs that are ready to play right out of the box. In addition, new products that will be released by winter are also included. You can also check RC videos and detailed information by scanning the QR code with your smartphone or mobile phone. And the RC Start Guide gives advice on how to make a machine that “runs straight”, the basic principle of RC cars. In addition, it is full of ways to enjoy RC life, such as Tamiya RC Live, which delivers various events and the latest information via video, and information dissemination using SNS. In addition, at the end of the book, we also introduced hobby shops nationwide and Tamiya’s RC circuits. All-color A4 size, a total of 40 pages with plenty of volume.

Volvo Trucks is a commercial vehicle manufacturer that enjoys a top-class reputation around the world and the FH series is one of their flagship brands, which underwent a full model change in 2012. This R/C model assembly kit recreates the FH16 Globetrotter XL 750 4×2 from that range, a truck with 16.1-liter inline-6 turbo engine capable of 750hp. The model has a highly realistic body with parts to recreate popular customizations, plus a realistic interior and even a driver figure. Its chassis employs numerous metal parts and has a three-speed transmission that allows gear changes.
Realistic Lights, Sounds, and Vibration
Tamiya Multi-Function Control Units (included for Japanese market only, available separately overseas) offer light, sound, and vibration operation to accompany your R/C truck experience. Engine sounds have been digitally recorded from an actual truck, and together with air horn, gear shifting, and many other realistic sounds, give you the feeling that you are driving the real thing! Headlights, brake lights, fog lamp, hazard lights and turn signal operation are also at your fingertips.
Semi-Trailers Separately Available
Various types including semi-trailer, tank-trailer, and pole-trailer, are currently available. Attach any one of them via the coupler on the model to create an exciting combination over a meter in length.
