To the Rescue!

Volvo is a renowned actor in the global commercial vehicle market, with one of their flagship brands being the FH Series that underwent a full model change in 2012. This R/C model assembly kit recreates the 750hp engine FH16 Globetrotter 750 8x4 tow truck from that range. The model has a realistic cab and body, the former featuring a photo etched front grille and interior details, the latter opening doors. Its fascinating towing mechanism uses plenty of metal parts and winch boom, underlift and outriggers are movable manually. The front mounted TR Mighty Tuned motor (35T) provides ample power to the two rear axles, via a three-speed transmission. Gear changes are also possible via transmitter controls, and the model can tow subjects such as 1/14 scale R/C tractor trucks.

The massive, stately form of this tow truck is captured with exceptional realism. You won't be able to wait to start towing

Stainless steel photo etched front grille parts add to the authenticity.

Both front axles are steered on this model, with a single servo used to turn the wheels. Wheels turn realistically at different angles.

The underlift can be extended and retracted, and features adjustable forks. It turns on a joint to enable smooth cornering
