The Tamiya 58683 Mercedes Tankpool 24 MP4 Racing TT-01E RC car recreates the aggressive Tankpool24 Mercedes Actros truck silhouette in a detailed three-piece polycarbonate body set. A purposeful stance is achieved with dedicated silver wheels and forgiving 70 cm-class radial tyres that suit the truck form, while sponsor livery stickers complete the race-ready presence. Under the body, the proven TT-01E shaft-driven 4WD platform delivers approachable handling and reliable performance for clean, confident laps. The bathtub frame keeps core components low to help stability, and a glass fibre-reinforced upper deck adds rigidity alongside protective gear covers. Double wishbone suspension and front and rear differential gears promote predictable cornering, and the three-piece tie rod sustains smooth steering inputs. With the supplied 540-Type brushed motor and TBLE-02S ESC, the Tamiya 58683 Mercedes Tankpool 24 MP4 Racing TT-01E 1/14 scale RC kit arrives ready for assembly with a balanced hardware package.

Tamiya 58683 Mercedes Tankpool 24 MP4 Racing TT-01E RC car: why does the TT-01E chassis feel so approachable?
The Tamiya 58683 Mercedes Tankpool 24 MP4 Racing TT-01E shaft-driven 4WD touring truck uses a bathtub frame to position the motor and battery close to the ground, lowering the centre of gravity and improving composure. A glass fibre-reinforced upper deck and protective gear covers bolster rigidity, helping the chassis track straight and resist flex under load. This foundation works with the four-wheel double wishbone suspension to maintain tyre contact, while front and rear differentials moderate torque for clean cornering. For builders and drivers seeking consistent behaviour without complexity, the TT-01E layout provides a steady baseline.
How do the silver wheels and 70 mm radial tyres influence grip and feedback?
Dedicated silver wheels matched to 70 mm radial tyres give the Tamiya Mercedes Tankpool 24 58683 with silver racing truck wheels and 70mm radial tyres a forgiving edge. Taller sidewalls cushion transient inputs and smooth turn-in, ideal for the truck’s higher centre of mass and long wheelbase. The pairing develops predictable grip, enhancing confidence during longer runs and helping the body’s three-piece structure feel planted. Combined with the TT-01E drivetrain, traction stays consistent across steady throttle application.
Is the three-piece polycarbonate body the best way to capture the Tankpool24 presence?
A three-part clear polycarbonate set—cab, body and coupler—allows the Tamiya 58683 Mercedes Tankpool 24 MP4 Racing TT-01E RC car to mirror the race truck’s aggressive profile with durable panels. Separately moulded mirrors, front and rear light cases, grille emblem and rear bumper add dimensional realism that reads strongly on display and on track. The comprehensive sponsor sticker set completes the Tankpool24 livery, enabling an accurate recreation of the European Truck Racing Championship presence. This layered approach achieves detail without compromising practicality.
What steering and suspension elements sustain precision for steady laps?
The three-piece steering tie rod in the Tamiya Mercedes Tankpool 24 58683 with TT-01E chassis and double wishbone suspension maintains alignment for smooth inputs, helping the truck hold a line through sweepers. Double wishbone geometry at all four corners controls camber change, and front and rear differential gears distribute torque to the wheels for consistent exit behaviour. Together, these components keep feedback reliable, supporting clean lap repetition and confidence across typical on-road surfaces.
Does the TBLE-02S ESC and 540-Type motor combination simplify first runs?
Including a 540-Type brushed motor and TBLE-02S ESC equips the Tamiya 58683 Mercedes Tankpool 24 MP4 Racing TT-01E RC car with accessible power and control from the start. The ESC supports brushed motors and sensored brushless within defined limits, offering flexibility as driving goals evolve. Paired with the TT-01E chassis’ low centre of gravity and balanced layout, initial assembly leads naturally to predictable, repeatable driving on clean tarmac surfaces.
Is the Tamiya 58683 Mercedes Tankpool 24 MP4 Racing TT-01E 1/14 scale RC kit an affordable path to race-truck realism?
