Overview

The Mercedes-Benz Arocs 8x4 is a real powerhouse for the construction site. This model features a chassis with four axles, where both rear axles are driven via a 3-speed switchable transmission.

The characteristic Arocs design comes fully into its own with the distinctive grille that emphasizes the robust construction site appearance. The cab and tipper body are pre-painted in a striking Candy Lime Green color with Semi-Gloss Black accents and protective coating.

Both front axles are individually controlled via a servo, with each axle having a slightly different steering angle for authentic maneuvering behavior like the real vehicle. This provides realistic steering when navigating tight construction sites.

The functional tipper body is reinforced with a metal frame and can be equipped with the optional ACU-01 spindle drive for automatic tipping function. In combination with the MFC-03 multi-function unit, virtually all sound and light functions of the original can be simulated.

The robust aluminum ladder frame provides the necessary stability for heavy loads while remaining flexible enough for realistic suspension behavior. A tow hitch can be mounted at the rear for pulling trailers.
