Product information
The Volvo FH12 Globetrotter 420 arrives here as a 1:14 R/C model assembly kit with the tall long-haul cab shape captured in full scale-model form. At 440 mm long, 188 mm wide and 295 mm high, the truck has the stance of a European tractor unit, with the high-roof Globetrotter profile giving the build a clear visual identity on the bench and in motion.
Its 272 mm wheelbase sets the proportions for a chassis built around a ladder frame with aluminum side channels, a layout that reflects the structure of a working truck. The front-mounted motor sends power to the rear axle, and the mechanical arrangement gives the underside real substance during assembly as the drivetrain takes shape. A 3-speed transmission brings another layer of control once the model is running, with gear changes handled through a 4-channel R/C setup. The included coupler opens the truck to trailer operation and allows connection with currently available 1:14 Tamiya trailers. Radio gear, a battery pack and a charger are required separately.
During a slow pass across smooth ground, the metal leaf springs and friction dampers make the suspension detail easy to appreciate, especially when the chassis settles under direction changes. The finished truck suits display just as naturally, where the FH12 cab lines, wheelbase and tractor layout give the model the look of a classic long-distance hauler.
Warning! Not suitable for children under 14 years.
