This R/C model assembly kit recreates the Scania 770 S 8x4/4, a double front-axle steering, double rear-axle drive eight-wheel heavy trailer head equipped with a 16.4-liter V8 turbo engine capable of 770hp, added in 2020 to the Swedish manufacturer Scania's top-grade S Series. The model has a highly realistic cab which - along with the side deflectors, roof, bumper and other parts - is pre-painted in gun metal color. Inside the cab is an interior with rounded dashboard and other details. Its chassis features a ladder frame with aluminum side channels, and power is delivered to the two rear axles via a 3-speed transmission, while the two front axles are steered by a single servo; the second axle is a lift axle which can be manually raised and lowered.
