| Tip-Top! The Arocs series is a line of heavy-duty models introduced in 2013 by the world’s leading truck manufacturer, Daimler AG (Germany). This R/C model assembly kit recreates the Arocs 4151 8x4 dump truck (gross vehicle weight: 41t), which runs on a 12.8-liter turbocharged inline-6 engine capable of 510hp. It features a highly detailed body with distinctive bucket tooth front grille as a separate part. The roof has a front bar with light pods, and the inside of the cab is also depicted. Behind the cab, a realistic one-piece resin bed is reinforced with a metal frame, while the ladder frame chassis features aluminum side channels with resin cross members. The two front axles are steered via a single servo, and power from the front-mounted TR Mighty Tuned Motor (35T) is delivered to rear axles via propeller shaft, with a built-in differential gear on each rear axle for smooth cornering. Its highly-realistic suspension utilizes metal leaf springs and friction dampers. Tandem die-cast front axles have individual leaf springs, and reinforced resin rear axles are a trunnion design. The assembly type 3-speed transmission allows gear changes via a separately available 4-channel transmitter. |
 ★The single-piece ABS plastic bed is combined with an aluminum frame to ensure plenty of durability as well as realism. |  |  ★The distinctive Arocs front grille is depicted, using separate parts, while the emblem is recreated by a plated component. | |  ★Side mirror surfaces are also metal plated parts, and accurately capture the curved surface. The big duct is also rereated. |
 ★The model's battery pack is contained in a dedicated case over the second axle, allowing battery changes even when the bed is loaded. | |  ★There are even display options available on this model, such as the choice of depicting cab rear ladders deployed or stowed. | |  ★Both of the front axles are controlled by a single steering servo. Note that the slight difference in wheel angle is captured. |
 ★A 3-speed assembly type transmisson and TR Mighty-Tuned Motor (35T) are in the kit to ensure durable and realistic running. | |  ★The trunnion design suspension is inspired by full-size trucks, and features special reinforced plastic axles plus metal leaf springs. | |  ★The model features stylish metal-plated wheels both front and rear, the former having single tires, and the latter having dual tires. |
 | |  | | ★Left: A close-up on a rear fender, which covers both axles and features a flat top with anti-slip markings recreated by sticker. ★Right: The front end of the the bed can be adorned with the included shovel, brush and fire extinguisher for super realism. |
